The 3rd constituency of the Côte-d'Or is a French legislative constituency in the Côte-d'Or département.

Description

Côte-d'Or's 3rd constituency is largely urban as it is based around the southern parts of Dijon. It also includes the town of Chenôve, which today forms Dijon's largest suburb.

The seat is the more left leaning of the three constituencies in Côte-d'Or that include parts of Dijon within them, however the margin of victory for the Socialist Party remains modest at around 2,000 votes.
