Banff—Airdrie was a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 2015 to 2025.
Banff—Airdrie was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election. The riding was created out of parts of Wild Rose (98%) and Macleod (2%) electoral districts.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, it was abolished at the 2025 Canadian federal election, with the riding being split between Airdrie—Cochrane, Bow River, and Yellowhead.
