Tottori 1st district is a parliamentary constituency in Tottori Prefecture that was created in 1994. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the National Diet of Japan since 1996 by Shigeru Ishiba, the Prime Minister and President of the Liberal Democratic Party since 2024.

It covers roughly the Eastern half of Tottori and consists of the cities of Tottori and Kurayoshi and the districts of Iwami, Yazu and the town of Misasa in Tōhaku District. In 2012, 256,020 eligible voters were registered in the district.Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC): [http://www.soumu.go.jp/senkyo/senkyo_s/data/meibo/meibo_h24.html 平成24年9月2日現在選挙人名簿及び在外選挙人名簿登録者数>選挙区ごとの選挙人名簿及び在外選挙人名簿登録者数等] {{in lang|ja}} In 2013 the town of Yurihama was transferred to the 2nd district. Before the 2021 elections, the district had 230,959 eligible voters, fewer than in any other single member electoral district.{{Cite web|title=令和3年10月31日執行衆議院議員総選挙・最高裁判所裁判官国民審査速報資料|url=https://www.soumu.go.jp/senkyo/49syusokuhou/index.html|publisher=Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications|access-date=5 November 2021|language=ja}}

Before the electoral reform of 1994, the area had been part of the Tottori at-large district where four Representatives had been elected by single non-transferable vote.

Tottori 1st district, like most of Chūgoku, usually votes for conservative candidates. The district is a "conservative kingdom" (保守王国, hoshu ōkoku), a stronghold of the Liberal Democratic Party, and its only representative since its creation has been Shigeru Ishiba (without faction, formerly Nukaga faction), secretary-general, former defense and agriculture minister, son of former Councillor and Tottori governor Jirō Ishiba and grandson of Tarō Kanamori, (appointed) governor of Tokushima and Yamagata in the 1930s.
