Drumheller-Stettler is a provincial electoral district (riding) in Alberta, Canada. The electoral district is mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting. The district was created in the 2003 boundary redistribution and came into force in 2004 from the old districts of Drumheller-Chinook and Lacombe-Stettler.
The district is named after the towns of Drumheller and Stettler and covers a large rural portion of central east Alberta. It also contains the towns of Cereal, Consort, Hanna, Oyen and Youngstown and Dinosaur Provincial Park.
Situated in a very conservative region even by the standards of rural central Alberta, the district and its antecedents have been strongholds of centre-right parties for decades, such as the Social Credit Party, Progressive Conservatives, Wildrose Party, and currently the United Conservative Party, giving them their best result of all ridings in the 2023 provincial election, with over 82% of the vote. Smaller right wing parties such as the Alberta Alliance and Western Canada Concept have also historically done well in this region. The current representative in the district is Nate Horner.
