The Constitution of the Cisalpine Republic (), was the second constitution of the Cisalpine Republic, a sister republic of France, roughly comprising the modern-day northern regions of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. It came into effect just after a French golpe on 31 August 1798, replacing the 1797 Constitution.

Napoleon had gone to Egypt, so the new French general Guillaume Brune managed to impose his friends to the Milanese administration.
