The seventh federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 07 de Michoacán) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of eleven such districts in the state of Michoacán.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the fifth region.

District territory
Michoacán lost its 12th district in the 2022 redistricting process. Under the new districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, 
the seventh district covers 17 municipalities in the north of the state:
Angamacutiro, Coeneo, Charapan, Cherán, Chilchota, Chucándiro, Huaniqueo, Jiménez, José Sixto Verduzco, Morelos, Nahuatzen, Panindícuaro, Paracho, Puruándiro, Quiroga, Tangancícuaro and Zacapu.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the city of Zacapu.

With Indigenous and Afrodescendent inhabitants accounting for over 42% of the population, Michoacán's seventh is classified by the National Electoral Institute (INE) as an indigenous district: the only one in the state.
