The Gorlovka constituency (No.15) is a proposed Russian legislative constituency in the Donetsk People's Republic. The constituency covers northern and north-western Donetsk as well as northern and north-eastern DPR.

As the Donetsk People's Republic was annexed by Russia in September 2022, the constituency is created for the 2026 legislative election. As of June 2025, the constituency is not under full control of the Russian forces; most of the DPR's Lyman, Kostiantynivka, Oleksandrivka, and Sloviansk districts (all four of which have been merged to form Ukraine's Kramatorsk Raion), and the northern portion of Bakhmut district, have either remained under Ukrainian Control since 2022 or have been captured by Russian and DPR forces and subsequently liberated by Ukraine.

The constituency's territory corresponds to electoral distritcs No. 46, 47, 48, 51, 52, and 53 (in whole) and 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 49, 54, 55, and 61 (in part) in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
