Chauveau is a provincial electoral district in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada. It includes portions of the Charlesbourg and La Haute-Saint-Charles boroughs of Quebec City and the eastern portion of the La Jacques-Cartier Regional County Municipality.

It was created for the 1966 election from part of Québec-Comté electoral district.

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier to La Peltrie and the unorganized territory of Lac-Jacques-Cartier to Charlevoix–Côte-de-Beaupré.

In the change from the 2011 to the 2018 electoral map, the riding will lose some territory (roughly the area between Rivère des Roches to Rue George-Muir) to Charlesbourg.

It is named after the first Premier of Quebec, Pierre-Joseph-Olivier Chauveau who was in power from 1867 to 1873.
