Prévost () is a provincial electoral district in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, which elects one member to the National Assembly of Quebec. It notably includes the municipality of Sainte-Sophie. Since 2022 its member of the National Assembly (MNA) has been Sonia Bélanger of the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ).
It was created for the 1973 election from parts of Montcalm and Terrebonne districts. Its final election was in 2008. It disappeared in the 2012 election and the successor electoral district was Saint-Jérôme.
As of its final election, it consisted of the municipalities of Prévost and Saint-Jérôme. In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, the eponymous municipality of Prévost moved from the defunct Prévost electoral district to the Bertrand electoral district; the remaining municipality of Saint-Jérôme then became a separate new electoral district in its own right, named Saint-Jérôme.
The district was reconstituted for the 2018 election, with its territory consisting of the municipalities of Prévost, Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs, Sainte-Sophie, Saint-Hippolyte, Saint-Sauveur and Piedmont."Quebec election: Prévost results". Global News, October 1, 2018.
