Glengarry—Prescott—Russell is a provincial electoral district in eastern Ontario, Canada. It elects one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

It was created in 1999 from parts of Prescott and Russell and Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry when ridings were redistributed to match their federal counterparts.

From 1999 to 2007 the riding included the municipalities of Clarence-Rockland, Russell Township, Alfred and Plantagenet, the Nation, Casselman, Hawkesbury, Champlain, North Glengarry and the eastern half of South Glengarry plus that part of Ottawa located in the former municipality of Cumberland, Ontario except for that part of Cumberland north of Innes Road and west of Trim Road.

In 2007, the riding lost the eastern half of South Glengarry and it also lost that part of the riding between Innes Road and Wall Road west of Trim Road.
