Champlain is a provincial electoral riding in the province of Quebec, Canada. Located in the Mauricie region, it was created in 1829. It includes the municipalities of Saint-Stanislas, Saint-Narcisse and Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade and the eastern portions of the city of Trois-Rivières.

The riding is named after the founder of Quebec City in 1608, Samuel de Champlain.

In the 2003 election (on April 14) there was a tie between incumbent PQ candidate Noëlla Champagne and Liberal candidate Pierre-A. Brouillette. A new election was held on May 20 and was won by Champagne by a margin of 642 votes.
