Peace River is a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The district is mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting. The district used instant-runoff voting from 1926 to 1957.

It and St. Albert are the only two Alberta districts that have been in operation since the birth of the province. Peace River is a reliable bellwether district, held by the governing political party for most of its history — former MLA Debbie Jabbour of the NDP was no exception, as she was elected in 2015 when the Alberta NDP came to power. Then Peace River elected a United Conservative MLA in 2019 when a majority of the seats in the province went to the UCP. Peace River last elected an opposition MLA in 1940.
