Chicoutimi—Le Fjord (formerly known as Chicoutimi) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1925.

It was created as "Chicoutimi" riding in 1924 from Chicoutimi—Saguenay. It was renamed "Chicoutimi—Le Fjord" in 2000.

The neighbouring ridings are Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, Manicouagan, Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean, and Jonquière—Alma.

The riding consisted of Chicoutimi County until 1947, when it shrank somewhat, but has always been centred on the city of Chicoutimi, Quebec.

This riding lost some territory to Jonquière during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

This riding has elected the following Members of Parliament:

The riding followed the typical path of most nationalist Quebec ridings, except for an independent being elected (1945–1957), and former MP André Harvey narrowly defeating incumbent Gilbert Fillion in 1997, one of only a few PC seats in Quebec that year.
