Viger was a provincial electoral district in Quebec, Canada.

It consisted of part of the then city of Saint-Léonard later turned borough, Rosemont and Mercier-Est neighbourhoods in Montreal.

It was created for the 1981 election. Its final general election was in 1998; there was also a by-election in 2002. It disappeared in the 2003 election as its territory was carved up and distributed among the new electoral district of Jeanne-Mance–Viger and the existing electoral districts of Anjou, Rosemont and Viau .

It was named jointly for Denis-Benjamin Viger and Jacques Viger, who were prominent politicians in the 1830s and 1840s.
