Prince Edward was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1904. It was created by the British North America Act of 1867, and consisted of the County of Prince Edward.

The electoral district was abolished in 1924 when it was merged into Prince Edward—Lennox riding.
