Frontenac is a provincial electoral district in the province of Quebec, Canada. It is located in the Chaudière-Appalaches region, and is not to be confused with the former, entirely different Frontenac electoral district located in the Estrie region, which used the same name but otherwise has nothing in common.

It was created for the 1973 election. It includes the city of Thetford Mines and the municipality of Disraeli and Broughton area.

The riding is named after a former governor of New France, Louis de Buade de Frontenac.
