'''Kingston''' was a federal [[electoral district (Canada)|electoral district]] represented in the [[House of Commons of Canada]] from 1867 to 1925 and from 1953 to 1968. It was located in the province of [[Ontario]]. It was created by the [[British North America Act of 1867]], and initially consisted of the city of [[Kingston, Ontario]]. In 1903, it was expanded to include the village of Portsmouth.

The electoral district was abolished in 1924 when it was redistributed into [[Kingston City]] [[Riding (division)|riding]].

In 1952, a new Kingston riding was created from Kingston City and parts of [[Frontenac—Addington (federal electoral district)|Frontenac—Addington]] ridings. It consisted of the city of Kingston and the townships of Pittsburg, Storrington, Kingston, Howe Island, and Wolfe Island (including Simcoe Island, Horse Shoe Island, and Mud Island) in the county of Frontenac.
