Maskinongé was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1925.

It was created by the British North America Act, 1867, and was amalgamated into the Berthier—Maskinongé electoral district in 1924.

Maskinongé may refer to:

• Maskinongé, Quebec
• Maskinongé Regional County Municipality
• Maskinongé (provincial electoral district), a provincial electoral district in Quebec
• Maskinongé (electoral district), a former electoral district in Quebec
• Muskellunge, a species of freshwater fish of North America

Maskinongé is a provincial electoral district in the Mauricie region of Quebec which elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes the western part of the city of Trois-Rivières, as well as various other municipalities.

It was created for the 1867 election, and an electoral district of that name existed even earlier: see Maskinongé (Province of Canada).

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, its border with the Trois-Rivières electoral district was adjusted, resulting in simultaneously gaining and losing different parts of the city of Trois-Rivières.

The district of Maskinongé was established in 1853, under the Union regime of 1841. It was located in the current Mauricie area and was located southwest of the district of Saint-Maurice on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River.

Champlain was represented by one Member at the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada.
