Edmonton-North West is a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada that has existed twice, first as Edmonton North West between 1959 and 1971, and for a second time since 2019. The district is one of 87 districts mandated to return a single member (MLA) to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting.
The district is located in northwest Edmonton, containing the neighbourhoods of Lauderdale, Rosslyn, Kensington, Griesbach, Carlisle, Caernarvon, Baranow, Hudson, Cumberland, Oxford, Carlton, and The Palisades, as well as the area west of 142 St NW and north of 137 Ave NW to the border with St. Albert.
The district was created as Edmonton North West in the 1959 redistribution which broke up the mega-ridings of Edmonton and Calgary, creating a number of single-member districts in their place. It was replaced with Edmonton-Calder in 1971, but re-created from the same riding in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended moving the Calder neighbourhood (among others) out of the riding.[2] The district also gained three neighbourhoods from Edmonton-Castle Downs.
