Maskinongé (French pronunciation: [maskinɔ̃ʒe] ⓘ) is a provincial electoral district in the Mauricie region of Quebec which elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It notably includes parts of the city of Trois-Rivières, as well as the municipalities of Louiseville, Saint-Boniface, Saint-Étienne-des-Grès and Saint-Alexis-des-Monts.
It was created for the 1867 election, and an electoral district of that name existed even earlier: see Maskinongé (Province of Canada).
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, its border with the Trois-Rivières electoral district was adjusted, resulting in simultaneously gaining and losing different parts of the city of Trois-Rivières.
In the change from the 2011 to the 2017 electoral map, the riding will gain Saint-Boniface and Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc from Saint-Maurice while losing the neighbourhood of Terasse-Duvernay in Trois-Rivières to the riding of Trois-Rivières.
