Cypress-Medicine Hat is an Albertan provincial electoral district, located in the southeastern corner of the province.
Under the Alberta electoral boundary re-distribution of 2004, the constituency covers the portion of Medicine Hat south of the South Saskatchewan River, the Trans-Canada Highway and Carry Drive. The rest of the city is part of the Medicine Hat constituency, which Cypress-Medicine Hat surrounds. The constituency borders Saskatchewan to the east and Montana to the south. Clockwise from the Montana border, the district also borders Cardston-Taber-Warner, Little Bow, Strathmore-Brooks and Drumheller-Stettler. Other major towns include Bow Island and Redcliff. The constituency represents Cypress County and the County of Forty Mile No. 8.
The current MLA for this district is the Wildrose Party's Drew Barnes. He was elected in the 28th Alberta general election.
The electoral district was created in the 1993 boundary redistribution from the old electoral district of Cypress-Redcliff.
The 2010 boundary redistribution saw only minor changes made in the middle of the riding to align with changes to the Medicine Hat city limits.
