LaSalle—Émard—Verdun is a new federal electoral district in Montreal, Quebec.

LaSalle—Émard—Verdun was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for 19 October 2015.[2] It was created out of parts of Jeanne-Le Ber (51%) and LaSalle—Émard (49%) plus a small section of territory between the Lachine Canal and the Le Sud-Ouest Borough boundary taken from Westmount—Ville-Marie and an adjacent uninhabited section from Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine.[3][4]

The riding was originally intended to be named LaSalle—Verdun.[5]

The incumbent of the LaSalle-Émard riding, Hélène Leblanc, will be seeking reelection in the new riding for the NDP.[6]
