The eighth federal electoral district of Michoacán (Distrito electoral federal 08 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 eighth district covers 169 electoral precincts (secciones electorales) in the north-west sector of the municipality of Morelia.
The district's head town (cabecera distrital), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, the city of Morelia.
