Wentworth was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of the Province of Canada, in Canada West (now Ontario). It was created in 1841, upon the establishment of the Province of Canada by the union of Upper Canada and Lower Canada. Wentworth was represented by one member in the Legislative Assembly. In 1853, it was split into two ridings, Wentworth North and Wentworth South.
