Kilbride is a provincial electoral district for the House of Assembly of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The district makes up the southern portion of the city of St. John's, including the rural neighbourhoods of the Goulds and Kilbride. Agriculture is an important industry in the district.

It has been one of the strongest Tory districts in the province, voting 85% for the PCs in the 2007 election. Since its creation, it has always returned a Tory MHA. It was one of the few districts in Newfoundland where the NDP came in second place in the 2007 election.
