Yarmouth is a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elects one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. It consists of the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth and the town of Yarmouth, and small parts of the municipal districts of Argyle and Clare.

From 1867 to 1981, the district included all of Yarmouth County and for most of that time elected two members in order to allow the district to enjoy both Protestant and Catholic representation in the legislature. In 1981, the district was redistributed and reduced to having just one MLA. The Municipality of Argyle received its own electoral district.

Geography

Yarmouth covers 784 km² (303 sq mi) of land area.
