Champlain (provincial electoral district)

Champlain is a provincial electoral district in Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Mauricie region.

The district was created in 1867, at the time of Confederation, and has been contested in every provincial election since. Its boundaries have been modified several times over the years to account for population changes.

Historically, Champlain has been a battleground riding, with support shifting between various parties, including the Liberals, the Union Nationale, the Parti Québécois, and Coalition Avenir Québec. The political leanings of the riding have often reflected broader trends in Quebec politics.

The riding is named after Samuel de Champlain, a key figure in the early French colonization of North America and the founder of Quebec City.
