Livingstone-Macleod is a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The district is one of 87 current districts in the province mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting.
The electoral district located in rural southwestern Alberta was created with minimal boundary changes in the 1997 boundary re-distribution from the old riding of Pincher Creek-Macleod. The district is named after Mount Livingstone and the town of Fort Macleod. The district also contains the communities of Pincher Creek and the municipality of the Crowsnest Pass.
The district and its antecedent have been favorable to electing Progressive Conservative candidates in the past few decades, but this history was broken in the Alberta general election, 2012 when Wildrose candidate Pat Stier was elected.
The electoral district was created in the 1996 boundary redistribution primarily from the old electoral district of Pincher Creek-Macleod.
Significant changes were made to the district in the 2010 boundary redistribution. The Blood Reserve was transferred to the electoral district of Cardston-Taber-Warner while land south of the town of High River that was in Highwood as well as a portion of land in that constituency in the north west and the portion of land that was part of the abolished Foothills-Rocky View electoral district south of Tsuu T'ina Nation was transferred into the electoral district.
