Nepean was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1988 to 1997. It was also the name of an overlapping district represented in the Ontario legislature from 1987 to 1999. The federal riding was created in 1987 from parts of Nepean—Carleton riding. It consisted of the City of Nepean. The electoral district was abolished in 1996 when it was redistributed between Nepean—Carleton and Ottawa West—Nepean ridings.
The riding was reinstated with the 2012 redistribution by Elections Canada, proclaimed to take effect as of the first dissolution of parliament after May 1, 2014.[2][3] All of the riding will come from the former riding of Nepean—Carleton.
