Vancouver-Fraserview is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada.
Following the redistricting in 2015 based on the previous census, Vancouver-Fraserview sits in the southeastern portion of Vancouver, including the neighbourhoods of Sunset, Victoria-Fraserview, and Killarney. Its approximate borders are East 49th Ave to the north, Fraser St to the west, Boundary Rd to the east, and the Fraser River to the south.
The riding was created for the 1991 election out of parts of the dual member ridings of Vancouver South and Vancouver East.
Vancouver-Fraserview is a swing riding which has consistently elected MLAs from the party that formed government since its creation in 1991, often with competitive margin.
It also served as launching pad for numerous high-profile candidates from both major parties.
Since its inception in 1991 until the 2020 re-election of George Chow, this district has never had an MLA that has served more than one term.
