Sturgeon River—Parkland was a federal electoral district in the Edmonton Capital Region of northern Alberta, Canada, and was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 2015 to 2025. It was created in 2012 from the electoral districts of Edmonton—Spruce Grove (61%), Westlock—St. Paul (33%) and Yellowhead (6%).

It was essentially the suburban portion of Edmonton—Spruce Grove. That riding's MP, Rona Ambrose of the Conservative Party of Canada, opted to transfer there, and won easily. She was interim leader of the Tories, and hence Leader of the Opposition, until her resignation in May 2017. She retired from politics two months later, and Dane Lloyd easily retained it for the Conservatives in the by-election.

History The riding was originally intended to be named Sturgeon River.

Under the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding was replaced by St. Albert—Sturgeon River and Parkland for the 2025 election.
