Jonquière (French pronunciation: [ʒɔ̃kjɛʁ]) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1979 to 2004 and again from the 2015 election onward.
This riding was created in 1976 from parts of Lapointe and Montmorency ridings. It was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed into Jonquière—Alma and Chicoutimi—Le Fjord ridings. It was re-created during the 2012 electoral redistribution from parts of Jonquière—Alma, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord and Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding lost the municipalities of Saint-David-de-Falardeau, Sainte-Rose-du-Nord, Saint-Fulgence, and Saint-Honoré to Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, and gained the municipalities of Hébertville, Hébertville-Station, L'Ascension-de-Notre-Seigneur, Saint-Augustin, Saint-Bruno, Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc, Saint-Eugène-d'Argentenay, Saint-Ludger-de-Milot and Saint-Stanislas as well as the Passes-Dangereuses unorganized area from Lac-Saint-Jean.
