Argenteuil (French pronunciation: [aʁʒɑ̃tœj] ) is a provincial electoral district in the Laurentides region of Quebec, Canada, that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It notably includes the municipalities of Lachute, Brownsburg-Chatham, and Morin-Heights.
It was created for the 1867 election, and an electoral district of that name existed even earlier: see Argenteuil (Province of Canada).
The territory of the Argenteuil electoral district in the 2011 electoral map is unchanged from its territory in the 2001 electoral map. From 1992 to 2001, the riding also included the municipalities of Mirabel and Huberdeau.
