Hochelaga was a former provincial electoral district in the province of Quebec, Canada.
It was created for the 1867 election (and an electoral district of that name existed earlier in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada). Its final election was in 1908. It disappeared in the 1912 election and its successor electoral districts were Maisonneuve, Montréal-Dorion, Montréal-Hochelaga, Montréal-Laurier and Westmount.
It was named after the former aboriginal village of Hochelaga on the site where Montreal now stands. The village existed when the explorer Jacques Cartier discovered territories that became New France.
