Negros Oriental's 3rd congressional district is one of the three congressional districts of the Philippines in the province of Negros Oriental. It has been represented in the House of Representatives since 1987.[3] The district consists of the southernmost parts of the province that were previously included in Negros Oriental's 2nd district. It contains the city of Bayawan and the municipalities immediately to the south and west of the provincial capital city, Dumaguete, namely Bacong, Basay, Dauin, Santa Catalina, Siaton, Valencia and Zamboanguita.[4] It is currently vacant for the 19th Congress since the expulsion of its most recent representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. on August 16, 2023.[5][6]
