Chandpur-3 is a constituency represented in the Jatiya Sangsad (National Parliament) of Bangladesh. Since 6 August 2024, the constituency is vacant.

Boundaries

The constituency encompasses Chandpur Sadar and Haimchar upazilas.

History

The constituency was created in 1984 from a Comilla constituency when the former Comilla District was split into three districts: Brahmanbaria, Comilla, and Chandpur.

Ahead of the 2008 general election, the Election Commission redrew constituency boundaries to reflect population changes in light of the 2001 Bangladesh census. The 2008 redistricting altered the boundaries of the constituency.
