Churchill—Keewatinook Aski (formerly Churchill) is a federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1935. It covers northern Manitoba, a vast wilderness area dotted with small municipalities and First Nations reserves. It was named after the town of Churchill, Manitoba, which resides on Churchill River.

The Churchill riding has the highest percentage of Aboriginal peoples (61.1%) in Canada.; the highest percentage of Cree speakers - both those whose mother tongue (21.6%) is Cree as well as those that use it as home language (16.6%) - is also to be found there.

The riding was created in 1933 when Nelson riding was abolished. The entire area of Nelson was transferred into the new riding of Churchill.

This riding gained territory from Selkirk—Interlake and was renamed "Churchill—Keewatinook Aski" during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
