The lone legislative district of Butuan is the representation of the highly urbanized city of Butuan in the various national legislatures of the Philippines after the approval of Republic Act No. 11714 on 4 April 2022 - An Act reapportioning Agusan del Norte's legislative districts into legislative district of the city of Butuan and legislative district of the province of Agusan del Norte, where municipality of Las Nieves was regrouped with the Agusan del Norte's 2nd district to make it Agusan del Norte's at-large district. The city is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines thru Agusan del Norte's 1st congressional district.

Butuan will elect their first representative in May 2025 that will represent the city only.

History

Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Butuan were represented under the historical Agusan (at-large, 1907–1967), Agusan del Norte (at-large; 1969–1972, 1984–1986); Region X (1978–1984), and Agusan del Norte (1st district: 1987–2025).

Butuan, as a highly urbanized city, is not under the political and administrative jurisdiction of Agusan del Norte, and was only grouped with it for purposes of representation to the House of Representatives and its predecessors.
