Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola was a former federal electoral district in British Columbia. It encompassed a portion of British Columbia formerly included in the electoral districts of Okanagan—Coquihalla (66%), Kelowna—Lake Country (25%) and British Columbia Southern Interior (10%).
Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, in October 2015. As a result of the 2022 federal electoral boundaries redistribution, the district was dissolved and the 44th Canadian federal election remains the last time it was contested.
