St. Norbert is a former provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

Historical riding

The original riding of St. Norbert was established at the time of the province's creation in 1870. For the 1870 provincial election, it was divided into two separate ridings: St. Norbert North and St. Norbert South. Subsequently, it was reduced to a single riding.

St. Norbert was a francophone-majority riding. It was eliminated in 1879, at a time when francophone representation in the province was being reduced.

It was recreated by redistribution in 1979, and was contested at the 1981 Manitoba general election. It was abolished at the redistribution of 2018 and ceased to exist under its old name effective at the 2019 Manitoba general election. The riding was located in the southernmost tip of the City of Winnipeg.

St. Norbert was bordered to the east by Seine River, to the south and west by the rural ridings of Dawson Trail and Morris (respectively), and to the north by Riel, Fort Garry (later Fort Richmond) and Fort Whyte. The riding's character is suburban.

St. Norbert's population in 1996 was 19,184. In 1999, the average family income was $59,444, and the unemployment rate was 8.20%. The riding is ethnically diverse: 5% of the riding's residents are German, 4% are Chinese, 3% are East Indian and 2% are Italian. Six per cent of the riding's residents are francophone. Almost 28% of the riding's residents have a university degree.

The service sector accounts for 16% of St. Norbert's industry, with a further 15% in the educational services.
