The Central constituency (No.31) is a Russian legislative constituency in Tatarstan. The constituency covers northern and western Kazan and suburban and exurban areas to the west of the city. Central constituency was created in 2015 from parts of former Moskovsky, Nizhnekamsk and Privolzhsky constituencies.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Marat Nuriyev, housing and utilities businessman, who won the open seat, succeeding one-term United Russia incumbent Irshat Minkin.
Boundaries
2016–2026: Kazan (Aviastroitelny, Novo-Savinovsky, Sovetsky), Pestrechinsky District, Tyulyachinsky District[2]
The constituency was created during the 2015 redistricting from parts of former Moskovsky (Aviastroitelny city district of Kazan), Nizhnekamsk (Pestrechinsky District and Tyulyachinsky District) and Privolzhsky (Novo-Savinovsky and Sovetsky city districts) constituencies.

After the 2025 redistricting the constituency was significantly altered, losing Pestrechinsky and Tyulyachinsky districts to Privolzhsky constituency. In its new configuration the constituency is confined entirely within Kazan city limits.
