Papineau is a provincial electoral district located in the Outaouais region of Quebec, which elects members to the National Assembly. It includes part of the City of Gatineau, and municipalities such as Val-des-Bois, Thurso, Papineauville, Montebello, Ripon and Montpellier.

It was created for the 1923 election from part of Labelle.
