Orford is a provincial electoral district in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes the township of Orford, the township of Hatley and the municipality of Hatley, the cities of Magog and North Hatley, the township of Stanstead and the city of Stanstead, and various other municipalities.
It was created for the 1973 election from parts of the Shefford, Sherbrooke and Stanstead electoral districts.
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost the part of western Sherbrooke that it formerly had to the Richmond electoral district and the municipalities of Barnston-Ouest and Stanstead-Est to the Saint-François electoral district. However, it gained a number of municipalities from Brome-Missisquoi.
Members of the National Assembly
- Georges Vaillancourt, Liberal (1973–1989)
- Robert Benoit, Liberal (1989–2003)
- Pierre Reid, Liberal (2003–present)
