Victoria was a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1909 to 1925. This riding was created in 1907, two years after Alberta was created as a province, from parts of Edmonton and Strathcona ridings.

It was abolished in 1924 when it was redistributed into Battle River, Camrose, Vegreville and Wetaskiwin ridings.
