Sakhali Assembly constituency, also known as Sanquelim, is one of the 40 Goa Legislative Assembly constituencies of the state of Goa in southern India. It is also one of the 20 constituencies falling under the North Goa Lok Sabha constituency.

Following the delimitation of constituencies in 2008, Sanquelim was established as a separate assembly constituency. Pratap Prabhakar Gauns of the Indian National Congress became the first elected Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Sanquelim, after winning the 2008 by-election for the erstwhile Pale constituency.{{cite web |title=Member Profile: Shri Pratap Prabhakar Gawas |url=https://www.goavidhansabha.gov.in/uploads/members/79_promember_59_profile_Pgawas.pdf |website=Goa Legislative Assembly |access-date=9 May 2025}}

During his tenure, Shri Pratap Prabhakar Gauns initiated several key development projects in the constituency, including the establishment of the Ravindra Bhavan Sanquelim, the Goa Institute of Management, the Primary Health Centre Sanquelim, a garbage treatment plant, a swimming pool, and a sewage treatment plant in Sanquelim.{{cite web |title=Member Profile: Shri Pratap Prabhakar Gawas |url=https://www.goavidhansabha.gov.in/uploads/members/79_promember_59_profile_Pgawas.pdf |website=Goa Legislative Assembly |access-date=9 May 2025}}
