Georgia's 1st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is currently represented by Republican Buddy Carter. The district's boundaries were redrawn following the 2010 United States census, which granted an additional congressional seat to Georgia.[1] The first election using the new district boundaries were the 2012 congressional elections.

There are three military bases in the district:
- Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, at Kings Bay in Camden County
- Fort Stewart, near Hinesville in Liberty County
