# Jonquière (provincial electoral district)

Jonquière (French pronunciation:) is a provincial electoral district in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It is located within the city of Saguenay and consists of most of the borough of Jonquière.
It was created for the 1966 election from parts of Jonquière-Kénogami and Lac-Saint-Jean electoral districts.
