Riding Mountain (French: Mont-Riding; formerly Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa) is a federal electoral district in Manitoba. It encompasses a portion of Manitoba previously included in the electoral districts of Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette, Brandon—Souris and Portage—Lisgar.[3]

Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 2015 Canadian federal election, which was held on October 19, 2015.[4]

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding was renamed Riding Mountain at the 2025 Canadian federal election. It lost the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation plus the part of the Rural Municipality of Wallace – Woodworth that it exclaves, and the CFB Shilo area to Brandon—Souris and gained the Municipality of Norfolk Treherne and the area around Long Plain 6 from Portage—Lisgar.[5]
