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

The district comprises the entire coastal area of Sea Islands and much of the southeastern part of the state. In addition to Savannah, the district includes the cities of Brunswick, Jesup, and Waycross.

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
Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah
