Esquimalt-Royal Roads is a former provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada established by the Electoral Districts Act, 2008. It was first contested in the 2009 election in which New Democrat, Maurine Karagianis was elected MLA. It was replaced by Esquimalt-Metchosin prior to the 2017 election.
