Oakville was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2025.

After the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding was abolished and divided into Oakville East and Oakville West for the 2025 Canadian federal election.

History

It was created in 1996 from parts of Halton and Oakville—Milton ridings.

It consisted initially of the part of the Town of Oakville lying southeast of the Queen Elizabeth Way and Upper Middle Road.

In 2003, it was redefined to consist of the part of the Town of Oakville lying southeast of a line drawn from the northeastern town limit southwest along Dundas Street East, southeast along Eighth Line and southwest along Upper Middle Road to the southwestern town limit. This riding was unchanged after the 2012 electoral redistribution.

The current boundaries include the neighbourhoods of Lakeshore Woods, Bronte, Hopedale, Coronation Park, Kerr Village, Old Oakville, Eastlake, Glen Abbey, College Park, Iroquois Ridge, Clearview, and Joshua Creek.
