Gunma at-large district is a constituency of the House of Councillors in the Diet of Japan (national legislature). It consists of Gunma Prefecture and elects two Councillors, one per election. Since 2010 Gunma is represented by two Councillors:

Between 1947 and 2007 Gunma was represented by four Councillors, electing two at a time by single non-transferable vote. Like most two-member districts Gunma often split seats between the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Japan Socialist Party (JSP) despite being a conservative stronghold and home to the families of Prime Ministers Fukuda, Nakasone and Obuchi. Councillors from Gunma include Fukuda's brother Hiroichi and Nakasone's son Hirofumi.
