Kootenay was a provincial electoral district in the province of British Columbia, Canada, from 1871 to 1890 and 1966 to 1999. It was originally a two-member riding until the 1875 election; from 1878, it was a one-member seat until its partition for the 1890 election into East Kootenay and West Kootenay. The revived Kootenay riding of 1966 was much smaller than the original, formed of combining the Cranbrook and Fernie ridings and a portion of the Columbia riding, i.e. the East Kootenay area only.
