Saint Boniface (French: Saint-Boniface) is a federal electoral district that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1925. It is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

In 1996, its English name was changed from "St. Boniface" to "Saint Boniface".

The district covers roughly the southern portion of the city of Winnipeg, east of the Red River. In particular, it contains the Franco-Manitobain community of Saint Boniface and roughly the northern two-thirds of the community of St. Vital. The riding (as federal electoral districts are called in Canada) has a sizeable French population (16% according to the last census) and was a Liberal Party stronghold for most of its history. However, Conservative Shelly Glover, a Winnipeg police sergeant, won it in 2008 and three years later became the first centre-right MP in the riding's history to be reelected.

It is the only riding in Western Canada that regularly elects francophone candidates to parliament.

There exists also a provincial electoral district of a similar name (St. Boniface) within Manitoba.
