Langley is a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. The riding was first contested in the 1966 general election.
The riding was created out of the Delta constituency in 1966. Until the election of 1991, it was considered a safe seat for the Social Credit Party. Since then, the BC Liberals have won the seat by significant margins in six consecutive elections. It returned one MLA from 1966 to 1986, two MLAs from 1986 to 1991, and one MLA from 1991 to the present day.
Under the 2021 redistribution that took effect with the 2024 election, the riding ceased to exist under its current name after almost 60 consecutive years. The largest portion of the district formed the new seat of Langley-Willowbrook, while its southern end will became part of Langley-Abbotsford.[1]
