Calgary-Lougheed is a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. It is one of 87 districts mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first-past-the-post method of voting.
The district is primarily urban, and it exists on the suburban fringes of the city of Calgary. It was created in the 1993 boundary redistribution from Calgary-Shaw, and is named in honour of former premier Peter Lougheed, who held the nearby seat of Calgary West from 1967 to 1986.
The district has been a stronghold for Progressive Conservative candidates since it was created. The current MLA for this riding is Eric Bouchard of the United Conservative Party. The riding was vacant for a period following the resignation of the former premier of Alberta, Jason Kenney of the United Conservative Party. The first MLA was Jim Dinning who previously represented Calgary-Shaw.
The district contains the neighbourhoods of Bridlewood, Millrise, Shawnee, Evergreen, Evergreen Estates, Alpine Park and Vermilion Hills.
