The Taymyr constituency (No.219) was a Russian legislative constituency in the Taymyr Autonomous Okrug in 1993–2007. It encompassed the entire territory of Taymyr Autonomous Okrug. The seat was last occupied by United Russia deputy Viktor Sitnov, former Chairman of the Duma of the Taymyr Autonomous Okrug and Nornickel executive, who won the open-seat race in the 2003 election.
The constituency was dissolved in 2007 when State Duma adopted full proportional representation for the next two electoral cycles. Earlier in 2007 Taymyr Autonomous Okrug and neighbouring Evenk Autonomous Okrug were merged with Krasnoyarsk Krai. Currently the territory of the former Taymyr constituency is part of the Yeniseysk constituency.
