Edmonton Mill Woods is a former federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 2015 to 2025.

Edmonton Mill Woods 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 the electoral district of Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont. ^[4]

With the redistribution of 2022, the riding was abolished in the 2025 election, replaced by Edmonton Gateway and Edmonton Southeast.
