The Nizhnekamsk constituency (No. 28[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Tatarstan. The constituency covers south-central Tatarstan. The present day Nizhnekamsk constituency was created in 2015 from western part of former Almetyevsk constituency, retaining only Nizhnekamsk, Chistopol and Zainsk from its 1995–2007 configuration.
The constituency has been represented since 2020 by United Russia deputy Oleg Morozov, an eight-term State Duma member, former Deputy Chairman of the Duma and Senator, who succeeded Ayrat Khayrullin after his death in a helicopter crash.

The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election. This seat retained only Nizhnekamsk, Chistopol and Zainsk from its 1995–2007 configuration, losing the rest of its territory in north-central Tatarstan to Privolzhsky, Moskovsky and newly created Central constituencies. The constituency gained rural south-central Tatarstan on the left bank of the Kama river from the former Almetyevsk constituency.
