Humber—St. George's—St. Barbe was a federal electoral district in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1968 to 1979.

This riding was created in 1966 from parts of Grand Falls—White Bay—Labrador and Humber—St. George's ridings.

It was abolished in 1976 when it was redistributed into Burin—St. George's and Humber—St. Barbe ridings.

It initially consisted of the provincial districts of Port au Port, Humber East, Humber West, St. Barbe South and St. Barbe North, and that part of the provincial district of St. George's not included in the electoral district of Burin-Burgeo.
