Jacques-Cartier is a provincial electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It was created in 1853, and named after French explorer Jacques Cartier who discovered the Saint Lawrence Valley between 1534 and 1542 in part of what would become New France until 1760. The district's borders were last altered in 2001 and currently it is the only provincial electoral district in Quebec with an Anglophone absolute majority.

The district is located in the southwestern corner of the city of Montreal, including the communities of Baie-d'Urfé and Beaconsfield.
