Mégantic—L'Érable—Lotbinière (formerly Mégantic—L'Érable) is a federal electoral district (riding) in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons since 2004.

Its member of Parliament (MP) has been Luc Berthold of the Conservative Party since 2015.

Geography

Straddling the Quebec regions of Centre-du-Québec, Chaudière-Appalaches and Estrie, it consists of the regional county municipalities of Les Appalaches, L'Érable, Le Granit, as well as the territory of the former municipality of Courcelles. Notable towns include Thetford Mines, Plessisville and Lac-Mégantic.

The neighbouring ridings are Compton—Stanstead, Richmond—Arthabaska, Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, and Beauce.

Its population is 87,078, including 69,617 voters, and it covers an area of 5,912 km2.

History

The riding was created as Mégantic—L'Érable in 2003 from parts of Frontenac—Mégantic and Lotbinière—L'Érable ridings.

The 2012 electoral redistribution saw this riding gain territory from Beauce and lose a small fraction of territory to Lévis—Lotbinière.

The riding was renamed Mégantic—L'Érable—Lotbinière by the 2023 representation order for Quebec, which came into effect before the 2025 federal election. In the process, it gained the municipalities of Dosquet, Laurier-Station, Leclercville, Lotbinière, Notre-Dame-du-Sacré-Coeur-d'Issoudun, Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière, Sainte-Croix, Saint-Édouard-de-Lotbinière, Saint-Flavien, Saint-Janvier-de-Joly and Val-Alain from Lévis—Lotbinière.
