Winnipeg North Centre

Winnipeg North Centre was a federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada, that was represented by a Member of Parliament (MP) in the Canadian House of Commons from 1925 to 2004. It is a largely working class riding in Winnipeg and has traditionally had a large Jewish and immigrant population.

The riding was created in 1924 and was first used for the 1925 federal election when it elected J.S. Woodsworth of the Independent Labour Party as its first MP. Woodsworth had previously represented Winnipeg Centre since the 1921 election. In 1932, Woodsworth became the leader of the newly created Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), and he held the seat for the party through the 1935 election and 1940 elections until his death in 1942.

A by-election held that year was won by Stanley Knowles of the CCF. Knowles held the seat until the 1958 election that returned a landslide for John George Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservative Party of Canada and elected Tory John MacLean in Winnipeg North Centre.
