Digby was a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1917. It was created as part of the British North America Act, 1867, and was abolished in 1914 when it was redistributed into Digby and Annapolis and Yarmouth and Clare ridings.

The district consisted of the County of Digby.

Digby is an American power pop band originally formed in January 2000 in Louisville, Kentucky. They had been known as 100 Acre Wood before that. The band is fairly popular within the city and surrounding area. During 2000, Digby released its first album, Laughing At The Trees. In 2004, they released their most notable album to date, Falling Up, on June 1, 2004 under the Toucan Cove/Label X label. The album was produced by Todd Smith, who has done work with Days of the New and Smash Mouth. The album debuted #1 on the ear X-tacy sales chart, #92 on the CIMS sales chart, #20 on R&R's specialty chart, and #7 on FMQB's Submodern Report.

Digby was a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elected one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. It existed from 1867 to 1993.

From 1867 to 1949, the district included all of Digby County. After 1949, the Municipality of Clare received its own electoral district. From 1949 to 1993, the district included the town of Digby and the Municipality of Digby.

Digby is the pseudonym of political blogger Heather Parton (known also as Heather Digby Parton) from Santa Monica, California who founded the blog Hullabaloo. She has been called one of the "leading and most admired commentators" of the progressive blogosphere.

Digby began as a commenter on the blogs of Bartcop and Atrios and launched her own blog on January 1, 2003, calling it Hullabaloo "because one function of blogs is to cause a ruckus" and decorating it with a picture of a screaming Howard Beale from the film Network. She has been joined by other bloggers on Hullabaloo, including composer Richard Einhorn, who blogs under the name "Tristero".

Digby was a Navy brat who graduated from Lathrop High School in Fairbanks, Alaska. She studied theater at San Jose State University (then known as San Jose State College) and worked on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System and for a number of film companies, including Island Pictures, Polygram, and Artisan Entertainment.

She won the 2005 Koufax award for blog writing and accepted the Paul Wellstone Award on behalf of the progressive blogosphere from the Campaign for America's Future at their "Take Back America" conference. Digby had initially kept her identity secret and it was widely assumed that Digby was male until she made an appearance at the 2007 CAF conference to accept the award. Digby has since written regularly at Salon as Heather Digby Parton. She also won the 2014 Hillman Prize for Opinion and Analysis Journalism.
