Hamilton Mountain is a federal and provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1968, and in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario since 1977. The riding is located in the Hamilton, Ontario region.
The socio-economic composition of the Hamilton Mountain is diverse, having low-income public housing residents as well as million dollar estates, highly-paid unionized workers and small-wage unskilled workers, and well-established white families and recent non-white immigrants.
This diversity makes Hamilton Mountain a swing riding with expected support for all three main Canadian political parties. Although the long tenure of the incumbent representatives tends to mask this fact, many elections are virtually two- or three-way ties. For instance, in 1988 less than a hundred votes separated the first and second place finishers and in 2004 election only three thousand votes separated the first and third place finishers.
