Saint-Hyacinthe is a provincial electoral riding in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. It includes the city of Saint-Hyacinthe and various other municipalities.

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it gained La Présentation from Verchères electoral district and Saint-Pie from Iberville electoral district.
