Massachusetts' 9th congressional district is located in eastern Massachusetts. It is represented by Democrat William R. Keating.
Redistricting after the 2010 census eliminated Massachusetts's 10th congressional district and moved many of the district's communities here. The district also added some Plymouth County communities from the old 4th district, and some Bristol County communities from the old 3rd and 4th districts. It eliminated a few easternmost Norfolk County communities and northernmost Plymouth county communities.
