Regina Northeast is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. This district includes the neighbourhoods of Parkridge, Uplands, Glencairn and Glencairn Village.
The district was created in 1967 out of parts of Regina North and Regina East.
The riding was redistributed prior to the 1991 election into Regina Dewdney, Regina Wascana Plains, and Regina Churchill Downs. It was recreated before the 1995 election, from parts of Regina Albert North, Regina Churchill Downs, Regina Dewdney, Regina Lake Centre, Regina Victoria and Qu'Appelle-Lumsden.
Kevin Doherty of the Saskatchewan Party won the riding in the general elections of 2011 and 2016, but announced his retirement from politics in the spring of 2018 and resigned the seat. A by-election was held on September 12, 2018, and was won by Yens Pedersen of the New Democratic Party. Gary Grewal was the candidate for the Saskatchewan Party.[1][2] Grewal defeated Pedersen at the 2020 general election.[3]
