Laval-des-Rapides is a provincial electoral district in the Laval region of Quebec that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It is located between Autoroute 15 and Autoroute 19 and between Rivière des Prairies and Autoroute 440.
It was created for the 1981 election from parts of Fabre and Mille-Îles electoral districts.
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it gained a small amount of territory from Mille-Îles.
From when the riding was created in 1981 until 2014, the riding had always voted for the winning party in every general election.[3]
