Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia (formerly known as Matapédia—Matane) was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1979. It has the lowest percentage of visible minorities among all Canadian electoral districts (0.3%).

The district consists of the Regional County Municipalities of La Haute-Gaspésie, La Matapédia, Matane and La Mitis.

The neighbouring ridings are Rimouski-Neigette—Témiscouata—Les Basques, Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, Manicouagan, Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, and Madawaska—Restigouche.

The riding was created in 1933 as "Matapédia—Matane" from parts of Matane riding. It was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed into Matane and Rimouski ridings.

It was created in 1976 as "Matapédia—Matane" from parts of Matane and Rimouski ridings. The name of the riding was changed in 2004 to "Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia".

As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding will be dissolved, and most will become part of Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia and the remainder will join Gaspésie—Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine.
