Richmond is a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elects one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.

Replacing the former district of Richmond-Cape Breton West, it was created in 1933 when the counties of Cape Breton and Richmond were divided into three new electoral districts. In 1992, it was renamed Richmond. In 2013, at the recommendation of the Electoral Boundaries Commission, the district was renamed Cape Breton-Richmond, gained the town of Port Hawkesbury from Inverness and expanded northeast to include the area east of East Bay and west of the Mira River to Morley Road from Cape Breton West.[http://nslegislature.ca/pdfs/about/ConstituencyHistories/cape%20breton-richmond.pdf Cape Breton-Richmond - Constituency History] Nova Scotia Legislature Following the 2019 electoral boundary review, it lost Port Hawkesbury to Inverness and some territory to Cape Breton East, and reverted to the name Richmond. The riding was reinstated after a court challenge that also re-instated the province's two other protected Acadians ridings of Argyle and Clare, and the Black riding of Preston.{{cite web |last1=Doucette|first1=Keith|title=Province to restore four protected ridings for Acadians, African Nova Scotians |url=https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/province-to-restore-four-protected-ridings-for-acadians-african-nova-scotians-1.4631256|website=CTV|access-date=4 August 2023 |language=en }}

A provincial district of Richmond existed from 1867 to 1925. It elected two members, through Block Voting, in this period.{{cite web |url=http://electionsnovascotia.ns.ca/results/ele_summary.pdf |title=Archived copy |website=electionsnovascotia.ns.ca |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080912061452/http://electionsnovascotia.ns.ca/results/ele_summary.pdf |archive-date=12 September 2008 |url-status=dead}}
