Kootenay-Rockies (formerly Kootenay from 1966 to 2001; East Kootenay from 2001 to 2009; Kootenay East from 2009 to 2024) is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada.
The district was created before the 1966 election by the merger of Cranbrook and Fernie ridings, and despite its long period under the "Kootenay" moniker, never extended to cover more than a fraction of the whole "Kootenay" region. Post-2001, broadly similar territory was included under the successive names East Kootenay, Kootenay East and Kootenay-Rockies. The riding adopted its current name and had minor boundary changes from the 2024 election, which implemented the results of the 2021 redistribution.
