Grande Prairie is a federal electoral district in northwestern Alberta, created in 2012 as Grande Prairie—Mackenzie from the Peace River district.[3] It contains the western half of Alberta's Peace region, including the city of Grande Prairie (where more than half its residents live) and stretching to the border with the Northwest Territories. It is impossible to traverse the district by road without leaving it, as the section of the Peace River contained within has no bridges or ferries.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding was renamed at the 2025 Canadian federal election.[4] It lost the remainder of Mackenzie County including the communities of Rainbow Lake, Hay Lake 209, Upper Hay River 212, High Level and Bushe River 207 to Peace River—Westlock.
