Viger was a provincial electoral district in Quebec, Canada.
It consisted of part of the Saint-Léonard, Rosemont and Mercier-Est neighbourhoods in Montreal.
It was created for the 1981 election. Its final general election was in 1998; there was also a by-election in 2002. It disappeared in the 2003 election as its territory was carved up and distributed among the new electoral district of Jeanne-Mance–Viger and the existing electoral districts of Anjou and Rosemont.
It was named jointly for Denis-Benjamin Viger and Jacques Viger,[2] who were prominent politicians in the 1830s and 1840s.
