The 4th constituency of the Sarthe is a French legislative constituency in the Sarthe département.

In the 2007 legislative election, the constituency was won by François Fillon. Fillon was appointed Prime Minister, whereupon he automatically lost his seat; in France, a member of the executive cannot simultaneously be a member of the legislature. On July 20, his deputy candidate, Marc Joulaud, who had previously held the seat himself, automatically took Fillon's place in the Assembly.^[1]
