- The present-day unicameral house, the National Assembly of Quebec
- The above under its former name of Legislative Assembly of Quebec (1867 until name change on December 31, 1968)
- The Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada 1841–1867, for Canada East
- The Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada 1792–1838
Note: there was no elected house from 1838 to 1841, in the aftermath of the Lower Canada Rebellion.
