Montcalm ({{IPA|fr|mɔ̃kalm}}) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, which has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1867 to 1917 and since 2004.

History

Montcalm riding was created by the British North America Act 1867. It was abolished in 1914 when it was merged into L'Assomption—Montcalm riding.

It was re-created in 2003 from parts of the ridings of Berthier—Montcalm, Repentigny, and Terrebonne—Blainville.

This riding lost territory to Terrebonne and gained some territory from Repentigny during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
