Saguenay was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1949 to 1968.

This riding was created in 1947 from parts of Charlevoix—Saguenay riding. It consisted of:

  • the county of Saguenay, (except the municipality of St. Firmin and the township of Sagard), and the towns of Baie Comeau and Forestville;
  • Anticosti Island; and
  • the territory of New-Quebec.

It was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed into Abitibi, Charlevoix and Manicouagan ridings.
