Unterland (German: Wahlkreis Unterland), meaning "lower land", is one of the two electoral districts of Liechtenstein.[1] The district's administrative seat is the town of Schellenberg, due to its historical existence as the Lordship of Schellenberg (German: Herrschaft Schellenberg). It has 10 seats in the Landtag.
The district is less populous than Oberland (the other district) and takes up between a fifth and a sixth of Liechtenstein's total area. It comprises five municipalities and three villages, for a total of eight settlements.
