Vancouver-False Creek is a former provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, in use from 2009 to 2024. The riding took in most of Downtown Vancouver (the eastern part of Downtown is part of the Vancouver-Mount Pleasant riding) and the area around the north shore of False Creek, including Yaletown.
Established by the Electoral Districts Act, 2008, Vancouver-False Creek was first contested in the 2009 British Columbia general election.
Under the 2021 redistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, the riding was divided along False Creek. The portions north of False Creek, comprising the majority of the population, were redistributed to Vancouver-Yaletown, while most of the portions south of False Creek were redistributed to Vancouver-South Granville. A small segment east of Cambie Street, corresponding to the 2010 Olympic Village, was assigned to Vancouver-Little Mountain.[1]
