Takhini-Kopper King is an electoral district which returns a member (known as an MLA) to the Legislative Assembly of Yukon in Canada. It was created in 2009 out of much of the former riding of McIntyre-Takhini. The riding includes the Whitehorse subdivisions of Takhini and Raven's Ridge, as well as the Kopper King, Takhini, and Northland mobile home parks and the residences along the Fish Lake Road. Yukon University and the Whitehorse Correctional Centre Campus are also situated in this electoral district. However, inmates' votes are counted in their home district.

In accordance with the Yukon Electoral District Boundaries Act (2024), this riding will experience moderate changes in boundaries and be renamed to Takhini at the 2025 Yukon general election. [1] [2]
