Cochrane (also known as Cochrane North and Cochrane—Superior) was a federal electoral district in the province of Ontario, Canada. It was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1935 to 1997.
This riding was created in 1933 as "Cochrane" from parts of Timiskaming North riding. The electoral district was abolished in 1996 when it was redistributed between Algoma, Kenora—Rainy River, Thunder Bay—Nipigon, Timiskaming—Cochrane and Timmins—James Bay ridings.
It initially consisted of the northern part of the territorial district of Timiskaming, and the eastern part of the territorial district of Cochrane and the district of Patricia. In Timiskaming, the riding included the part of the district lying north of and including the townships of Pontiac and Keefer and the townships in between them. In Cochrane, it included the part of the district lying east of a line drawn along the eastern boundaries of the townships of McCoig and Mulloy and north to the northern limit of the district. In Patricia, it included the part lying east of the projection north of the western boundary of the electoral district of Cochrane.
In 1947, it was redefined to consist of the northern part of the territorial district of Cochrane and the eastern part of the district of Patricia. In the 1960s, it was redefined to consist of the northern parts of the territorial district of Algoma, Cochrane, Kenora (Patricia Portion), Sudbury and Timiskaming.
The electoral district was abolished in 1976 when it was redistributed between Algoma, Cochrane North, Timiskaming and Timmins—Chapleau ridings.
"Cochrane North" was formed in 1976 from parts of Cochrane and Thunder Bay ridings. It consisted of the northern part of the Territorial District of Algoma, northwest part of the Territorial District of Cochrane, the eastern part of the Territorial District of Kenora (Patricia Portion), and the southeast part of the Territorial District of Thunder Bay. The name of the electoral district was changed in 1977 to "Cochrane", and in 1980 to "Cochrane—Superior".
Cochrane—Superior initially consisted of the northern part of the Territorial District of Algoma, the north-west of the Territorial District of Cochrane, the eastern part of the Territorial District of Kenora (Patricia Portion), and the south-east part of the Territorial District of Thunder Bay.
It was redefined in 1987 to consist of the north-east part of the Territorial District of Algoma, the north-west part of the Territorial District of Cochrane, the eastern part of the Territorial District of Kenora, and the eastern part of the Territorial District of Thunder Bay.

Northern Ontario is a primary geographic and quasi-administrative region of the Canadian province of Ontario, the other primary region being Southern Ontario. Most of the core geographic region is located on part of the Superior Geological Province of the Canadian Shield, a vast rocky plateau located mainly north of Lake Huron, the French River, Lake Nipissing, and the Mattawa River. The statistical region extends south of the Mattawa River to include all of the District of Nipissing. The southern section of this district lies on part of the Grenville Geological Province of the Shield which occupies the transitional area between Northern and Southern Ontario. The extended federal and provincial quasi-administrative regions of Northern Ontario have their own boundaries even further south in the transitional area that vary according to their respective government policies and requirements. Ontario government departments and agencies such as the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation define Northern Ontario as all areas north of, and including, the districts of Parry Sound and Nipissing for political purposes, whilst the federal government, but not the provincial, also includes the district of Muskoka.
