Huron—Bruce (formerly known as Huron and Huron—Middlesex) is a federal and provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1953, and in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario since 1987.

Federal electoral district

The federal riding was created in 1952 from parts of Huron North and Huron—Perth ridings. It was known as "Huron" until 1974. It was briefly known as "Huron—Middlesex" from 1974 to 1976.

In 1976, it was renamed "Huron—Bruce", and defined to consist of the County of Huron and the Townships of Carrick, Culross, Huron and Kinloss in the County of Bruce.

In 1987, the Bruce County portion was redefined as the part of the County of Bruce lying west of and excluding the townships of Carrick, Brant and Elderslie, west of and including the Village of Paisley, west of and excluding the Townships of Elderslie and Arran, and west of and including the Township of Saugeen and the Town of Southampton.

In 2003, the Bruce County portion was redefined as the part of the County of Bruce lying southwest of and excluding the Township of Arran-Elderslie, and west of and including the Town of Saugeen Shores.
