The Legislative Districts of Bataan, namely the first and second districts, are the current representations of the province of Bataan in the Philippine House of Representatives.

Before 1972 Bataan comprised a lone legislative district, electing one representative to the various national legislatures, except during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines when the province sent two representatives to the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic. Upon the restoration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1945, the province continued to comprise a lone district.

The province was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region III from 1978 to 1984, and elected one representative to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Bataan was redistricted into two legislative districts under the new Constitution which took effect on February 7, 1987; both districts elected separate members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
