The Legislative District of Abra is the current representation of the province of Abra in the Philippine House of Representatives.

Abra was initially represented as part of the third district of Ilocos Sur in 1907, after its annexation as a sub-province of the latter. Upon its re-establishment as a regular province on March 10, 1917 through Act No. 2711, Abra was granted its separate representation, and elected its first representative in 1919.

The province was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region I from 1978 to 1984, and elected one representative to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Abra retained its lone congressional district under the new Constitution which took effect on February 7, 1987, and elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
