Fiji's Constituency Boundaries Commission is a civil service body constitutionally charged with determining the boundaries of electoral constituencies for the House of Representatives.

The Commission is established by Sections 75 through 77 of the Constitution. It has three members. One is chosen by the Prime Minister and one by the Leader of the Opposition. The third member is the Chairperson, chosen by the President, after consulting with both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.

The chairperson must possess the qualifications required of a member of the Judiciary. Barred from membership are persons who are or have been in the preceding four years members of either house of Parliament or of a municipal council, as as civil servants. This is to safeguard the political impartiality of the commission.

The current commission was appointed in March 2005 for a term of twelve months. Its membership is as follows:

Malakai Nagia serves as secretary to the commission.

The commission has recommended changes to its functions. The Fiji Live news service reported on 28 February 2006 that it proposed sitting in the year following a parliamentary election. It also called for changes allowing for it to be appointed three years before a subsequent election, and for its work to be completed a year before an election.
