# Ungava (electoral district)

Ungava (French pronunciation:) is a provincial electoral district in the Nord-du-Québec region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes all of the Nord-du-Québec region (which is also a single census division) except for the Naskapi village municipality of Kawawachikamach.
It covers the Ungava Peninsula of northern Quebec and notably includes the municipalities and communities of Chibougamau, Chisasibi, Mistissini, Kuujjuaq, Eeyou Istchee Baie James, Waskaganish, Puvirnituq, Lebel-sur-Quévillon, Inukjuak and Wemindji.
It was created for the 1981 election from Abitibi-Est and Abitibi-Ouest electoral districts.
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost the unorganized territories of Caniapiscau and Lac-Juillet (in Côte-Nord region) to Duplessis electoral district.
