Kelowna—Lake Country was a federal electoral district in the province of British Columbia, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2023. From 1997 to 2003, the district was known simply as Kelowna.

History This district was created as Kelowna electoral district in 1996 from a portion of Okanagan Centre district.

In 2003, it was renamed Kelowna—Lake Country.

The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Kelowna—Lake Country should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name would be contested in future elections. The redefined Kelowna—Lake Country lost a portion of its current territory to the new district of Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which came into effect upon the call of the 2015 Canadian federal election.

As a result of the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the district was dissolved, with parts of the district moving to a newly redefined Kelowna district, the Vernon—Lake Country—Monashee district, and the Okanagan Lake West—South Kelowna district.
