Osterholz – Verden is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) represented in the Bundestag.

It is located in northern Lower Saxony, comprising the districts of Osterholz and Verden.

In the inaugural Bundestag election, it was Lower Saxony constituency 12 in the numbering system.

The constituency was first held by Hans-Joachim von Merkatz of the German Party (DP), who served from 1949 until 1961.

In 1961, Karl Ravens of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) won the constituency.

In the 1965 election, von Merkatz regained his seat, now as a candidate of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

He was succeeded by fellow SPD member Arne Börnsen, who served a single term before Martin Oldenstädt of the CDU won the constituency in 1983.
