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

The province was divided into three representative districts from 1907 to 1972, with a minor adjustment of district boundaries as mandated by Act No. 3378 enacted on December 3, 1927 taking effect starting in the 1928 elections.

Batangas was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region IV-A from 1978 to 1984, and elected four representatives at-large to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Effective February 11, 1987, the province was redistricted into four congressional districts under the new Constitution, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
