The Rubtsovsk constituency (No.40) was a Russian legislative constituency in Altai Krai in 1993–2007 and 2016–2026. The constituency covered central Altai Krai, stretching from Barnaul to Rubtsovsk in the Krai's southwestern corner. After 2025 redistricting Altai Krai lost one of its four constituencies, so Rubtsovsk constituency was dissolved and partitioned between Barnaul and Slavgorod constituencies.
The seat was last occupied by Communist deputy Maria Prusakova, regional party office first secretary, who flipped this open seat from United Russia in the 2021 election. Prusakova initially ran in the Slavgorod constituency in 2026 but later reversed course and unsuccessfully sought re-election to the State Duma on the CPRF party list.
