Colorado's 1st congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Colorado based primarily in the City and County of Denver in the central part of the state. The district includes all of the City and County of Denver and the nearby suburbs of Glendale, Englewood, Sheridan, and Cherry Hills Village.

The district has been represented by Democrat Diana DeGette since 1997.

Based in the heart of Metropolitan Denver, this district is by far the most liberal district in the non-coastal parts of the American West. While there is some GOP strength in the suburban areas, it remains overwhelmingly Democratic.

Following the 1990 U.S. Census and associated realignment of Colorado congressional districts, the 1st Congressional district consisted of all of the City and County of Denver and parts of Adams, Arapahoe, and Jefferson counties.

Following the 2000 U.S. census and associated realignment of Colorado congressional districts, the 1st Congressional district consists of parts of Arapahoe County including parts or all of the cities of Englewood, Cherry Hills Village, Sheridan, Aurora and Glendale and all of the City and County of Denver.
