A minority-majority district is a congressional district whose boundaries are drawn to maximize minority voting power.

Congressional districts are administrative divisions of a larger administrative region that represent a region's population in the larger congressional body. In other countries, they are known as electoral districts, legislative districts, wards, and electorates. Notably, electoral districts in Australia are referred to as "electorates" or "seats," whereas in Canada, they are referred to as "constituencies" or, more colloquially, "ridings." Congress has districts in the United States, the Philippines, and Japan.

Majority-minority districts may be established to avoid or correct violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965's prohibition on drawing redistricting plans that limit a racial or language minority's ability to elect its preferred candidates. Affirmative racial gerrymandering may result in majority-minority districts in some cases. The importance of drawing district lines to create majority-minority districts is debated both within and outside of minority communities.
