Etobicoke—Lakeshore (formerly known as Lakeshore and Toronto—Lakeshore) is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1968.

It covers the southern part of the Etobicoke portion of Toronto on the shore of Lake Ontario including the former 'Lakeshore Municipalities' of Mimico, New Toronto and Long Branch.

The federal riding was created in 1966 as "Lakeshore" from part of York—Humber riding, the same year the 'Lakeshore municipalities', Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch were annexed to the new Borough of Etobicoke. In 1971, it was renamed "Toronto—Lakeshore". In 1976, it was abolished, and replaced by "Etobicoke—Lakeshore".

Federally, the riding is represented by federal Liberal Party and official Opposition leader Michael Ignatieff who was first elected in 2006, and was previously represented by Jean Augustine. Provincially, it has been represented by Laurel Broten since 2003. On Toronto City Council, the southern half of the riding is represented by Mark Grimes, and the northern half by Peter Milczyn.

There was an unusual race in the riding in the 1988 federal election as two days after nominations were due the Liberal candidate, Emmanuel Feuerwerker, withdrew after suffering a heart attack. This meant that no Liberal candidate appeared on the ballot.
