Leeds South
This article is about the Canadian electoral district. For the UK constituency, see Leeds South (UK Parliament constituency).
Leeds South was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1904. It was created by the British North America Act of 1867 which divided the County of Leeds into two ridings: a north riding and a south riding. The north riding was combined with the North Riding of the County of Grenville.
The electoral district was abolished in 1903 when it was merged into Leeds riding.
