This is a list of electoral districts (informally called ridings) in Canada for the Canadian federal election of 1949. In 1947, ten new districts were created, but Newfoundland became a province in 1949 adding seven new districts. There were no elections held between 1947 and 1949, and there were no by-elections held in Newfoundland after joining confederation.

Electoral districts are constituencies that each elect one Member of Parliament in Canada's House of Commons every election.

Nova Scotia – 13 seats

New Brunswick – 10 seats

Quebec – 73 seats

Ontario – 83 seats

Manitoba – 16 seats
