Grenville was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1904 to 1925. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was created in 1903 from parts of Grenville South and Leeds North and Grenville North ridings. It consisted of the county of Grenville.

The electoral district was abolished in 1924 when it was merged into Grenville—Dundas riding.
