Vaudreuil-Soulanges is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1997. From 1914 to 1968 a similarly-defined electoral district existed under the slightly different designation Vaudreuil—Soulanges.

It consists of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality. The neighbouring ridings are Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, Lac-Saint-Louis, Beauharnois—Salaberry, Stormont—Dundas—South Glengarry, and Glengarry—Prescott—Russell.

History

The original Vaudreuil—Soulanges was created in 1914 when the counties of Vaudreuil and Soulanges were combined into one riding. In keeping with the usual Canadian naming practices, the appellations 'Vaudreuil' and 'Soulanges' were linked by an em-dash as the two counties remained officially separate, and their combination was for electoral purposes only. It was abolished in 1966.

In 1997, the Vaudreuil riding was renamed "Vaudreuil-Soulanges," as it had been realigned to be perfectly coterminal to the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality.

The 2006 election was particularly marked by the involvement of Liberal star candidate and former astronaut, Marc Garneau, who lost to the incumbent Meili Faille. Conservative Senator and cabinet member Michael Fortier ran in the 2008 election, but once again Meili Faille was the winner, giving her the nickname "the star killer"^{[citation needed]}.
