Kamloops-North Thompson is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada.

It was formerly considered a political bellwether for the next provincial government, having swung to the governing party ever since party politics was introduced into British Columbia. This trend broke in 2017, when the district was won by a BC Liberal despite a BC NDP government being sworn in. [1]
