Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 2004.
The new riding was created in 2003 from parts of Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington and Lanark—Carleton, and was first contested in 2004. Conservative candidate Scott Reid, the incumbent MP for Lanark-Carleton and Liberal candidate Larry McCormick, incumbent MP for Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, both ran for the seat. Bill Vankoughnet, a former Progressive Conservative MP who had represented Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington prior to 1993, also ran for the seat. Reid was elected by substantial margins in 2004, 2006 and 2008.
The riding's conservative voting pattern is in line with rural electoral districts immediately to the west of the city of Ottawa; in the three federal elections held since the riding was created, the Conservative candidate has never dipped below 27,000 votes and the Liberal candidate has not risen above 18,000.
