Calgary Rocky Ridge is a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 2015.

Calgary Rocky Ridge was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015. ^[3] It was created out of parts of the electoral districts of Calgary—Nose Hill and Calgary West. ^[4]

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding will be renamed Calgary Crowfoot at the first election held after April 22, 2024. It will lose the neighbourhood of Kincora to Calgary Nose Hill, and the neighbourhoods of Evanston and Sage Hill east of Symons Valley Rd to Calgary Skyview. ^[5]
