Esquimalt-Metchosin is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It first existed from 1991 to 2009, when it was succeeded by the electoral district of Esquimalt-Royal Roads. The riding was reconfigured and brought back in the 2015 electoral redistribution and was contested again in the 2017 election.
The 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution significantly altered electoral boundaries in the western communities: Metchosin was transferred to the new district of Juan de Fuca-Malahat while the balance of the district's territory will be joined to Victoria West to form Esquimalt-Colwood.
