Bathurst was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

It was created in the 1967 redistribution when cities were separated from their counties and made independent districts. It was not changed in either the 1973 or 1994 redistributions but in 2006 it lost some territory to the neighbouring riding of Nepisiguit. It has been a traditional Liberal seat in the province; however, in the last two elections, it has been one of the most marginal seats in New Brunswick.

In its current form, it consists of the city of Bathurst except for the part south of Route 11 and east of the Nepisiguit River. It is bordered on the northeast by the riding of Nigadoo-Chaleur, on north by Chaleur Bay, and elsewhere by the riding of Nepisiguit.

This riding has elected the following Members of Legislative Assembly:
