West Virginia's 3rd congressional district is a U.S. congressional district that is no longer in use. It used to be in southern West Virginia. It used to represent Huntington, Bluefield, Princeton, and Beckley.[1]

The district was last represented by Republican Carol Miller. However, because West Virginia lost a congressional seat in the 2020 census, it was eliminated in 2023.[2] On October 22, 2021, Governor Jim Justice signed the new congressional map into law. Under the plan, the old 3rd essentially became the new 1st.[3][4]
