Parksville-Qualicum was a former provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia in use from 1991 to 2001 and again from 2009 to 2024. The riding consisted of the city of Parksville, the town of Qualicum Beach and the communities of Lantzville and Nanoose Bay.

It was first contested in the 1991 election. Following redistribution, the area became part of the Nanaimo-Parksville and Alberni-Qualicum ridings. It was re-created prior to the 2009 general election, and was won by Liberal, Ron Cantelon. Under the 2021 resistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, a substantial reorganization of electoral boundaries in the Nanaimo and mid-Island area saw Parksville-Qualicum dissolved, with the majority of its territory and population being added to Ladysmith-Oceanside while Lantzville and the portion of the City of Nanaimo in the district joined Nanaimo-Lantzville.
