Brant is a provincial electoral district in southwestern, Ontario, Canada. It elects one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
It was created in 1999 from all of Brantford and part of Brant—Haldimand.
When the riding was created, it included the city of Brantford, the town of Paris plus the townships of Brantford and South Dumfries.
In 2007, the boundaries were altered to include all of Brant County, plus that part of the Indian Reserves of Six Nations 40 and New Credit 40A located in Haldimand County.
The riding also existed from 1926 to 1975; It was known as Brant County until 1934.
In 1987 the new riding of Brant-Haldimand was created to include Brant County (except the city of Brantford), the township of North Dumfries (excluding the part that extended east of Cambridge), and the municipalities of Haldimand, and Dunnville. In 1996, the riding was abolished into Cambridge, Brant, Haldimand—Norfolk—Brant and Erie—Lincoln.
