Ogilvie was a territorial electoral district in the Canadian territory of Yukon, which was represented on the Yukon Territorial Council from 1974 to 1978. The district comprised part of Dawson City, extending northerly to the Ogilvie Mountains region, while the southerly part of Dawson City was in the separate district of Klondike. The idea of splitting Dawson City in this manner was controversial, however, due to a perceived risk that if both Ogilvie and Klondike elected councillors who lived in their districts' other, smaller communities, Dawson City itself would have been left effectively unrepresented on the council despite being the most important community in both districts; in the 1974 Yukon general election, however, Dawson City residents won both districts, with Eleanor Millard winning in Ogilvie while Fred Berger carried Klondike.
