Battle River was a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons at various times from 1914 to 2005.

This riding was created in 1914 from parts of Strathcona and Victoria ridings. It was abolished in 1952 when it was redistributed into Acadia, Battle River—Camrose, Red Deer and Vegreville ridings.

In 1966, it was recreated from parts of Acadia and Battle River—Camrose ridings. It was abolished again in 1976 when it was redistributed into Crowfoot, Red Deer, Vegreville and Wetaskiwin ridings.

The riding has existed several times:

  • from 1914 – 1952
  • from 1966 – 1976
  • from 2004 – 2005
  • In 2004, Westlock—St. Paul riding was renamed "Battle River", but the name was changed back to "Westlock—St. Paul" before an election was held.
