The Legislative Districts of Cotabato, namely the first and second districts are the representations of the Province of Cotabato in the Philippine House of Representatives. Cotabato was part of the representation of Mindanao and Sulu from 1916 to 1935, when it was organized as a lone district, which included South Cotabato until 1965, and the provinces of Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat until 1972. It became part of the representation of Region XII from 1978 to 1984. It regained its own representations in the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984 where it elected 2 assemblymen at-large. In 1986, it was divided into two legislative districts.
