Vancouver-Little Mountain is a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia.

Contents

It first appeared on the hustings in the general election of 1966 as a two-member seat. It returned as a two-member seat until 1986 and became a one-member seat thereafter. After the 1996 election, the areas it comprised were redistributed. Successor ridings, roughly, were Vancouver-Fraserview, Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, Vancouver-Fairview and Vancouver-Langara.

Under the new representation order of the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution approved in 2023, the Vancouver-Little Mountain name was revived, with the new electoral district taking territory from the existing Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, Vancouver-Fairview, Vancouver-False Creek, Vancouver-Langara, and Vancouver-Kensington ridings.

In the 2024 British Columbia general election, it was won by NDP candidate Christine Boyle. [1]
