Essex is a provincial electoral district in southwestern, Ontario, Canada. It elects one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
It existed from 1867 to 1874 and was re-created in 1999 from Essex South, EssexâKent and WindsorâSandwich.
When the riding was recreated, it included all of Essex County except for Windsor, Old Tecumseh, St. Clair Beach, Leamington and Mersea Township.
In 2007, it lost the parts of Tecumseh that had since been amalgamated (South Sandwich Township).
