# St. Clements (electoral district)

St. Clements is a former provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada, which existed on two separate occasions. The original constituency was one of twenty-four established at the province's creation in 1870. It was eliminated through redistribution before the 1888 provincial election, but was restored for the 1914 election. The division was eliminated for the second time by redistribution prior to the 1958 election.
St. Clements was located to the northeast of Winnipeg. After its elimination, much of its territory was included in the new constituency of Brokenhead.
