Cavite's 8th congressional district is one of the eight congressional districts of the Philippines in Cavite. It has been represented in the House of Representatives of the Philippines since 2019. The district consists of the southern city of Tagaytay and the municipalities of Alfonso, General Emilio Aguinaldo, Magallanes, Maragondon, Mendez, Naic, and Ternate, bordering the provinces of Batangas and Laguna. It is currently represented in the 20th Congress by Aniela Tolentino of the National Unity Party (NUP).
The district was created in 2018 after General Trias became the sole component of Cavite's 6th district. This change prompted the reorganization of the province's congressional districts: the former components of the 6th district, together with Indang, became the new 7th district, while the areas that had comprised the old 7th district, except for Indang, were reconstituted as the new 8th district.
