The Pas-Kameesak (French: Le Pas-Kameesak) is a provincial electoral district in Northern Manitoba, Canada.

The riding was created by the 2018 provincial redistribution after the former riding of The Pas gained significant portions of the Swan River and the former riding of Interlake. It came into effect at the 2019 Manitoba general election.[4]

The riding includes the Town of The Pas, as well as Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Grand Rapids, Easterville, Pinaymootang First Nation, Peguis First Nation, Lake St. Martin First Nation, and Little Saskatchewan First Nation.

The riding is named for the Town of The Pas, the largest community in the riding, and the Cree word kameesak, meaning 'big', a reference to Lake Winnipeg.[5]
