Louis-Hébert (French pronunciation: [lwi ebɛʁ]) is a federal electoral district in the Canadian province of Quebec. Represented in the House of Commons since 1968, its population was certified, according to the detailed statistics of 2001, as 98,156.
The district, in the Quebec region of Capitale-Nationale, consists of the southern part of Quebec City, namely the borough of Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge.
The neighbouring ridings are Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, Louis-Saint-Laurent, Québec, Lévis—Bellechasse, and Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière.
The riding lost small fractions of territory to Louis-Saint-Laurent and Québec as a result of the 2012 electoral redistribution.
The electoral district was created in 1966 from Quebec East, Quebec South, Quebec West, and Québec—Montmorency ridings. The riding is notable for having had 9 different people represent the riding since 1988. Suzanne Duplessis was the last person to serve the riding for more than one parliament.
