Beauce was a former provincial electoral district in the Chaudière-Appalaches and Estrie regions of Quebec, Canada. It elected members to the National Assembly of Quebec (earlier known as the Legislative Assembly of Quebec).

It was created for the 1867 election, and electoral districts of that name existed even earlier: see Beauce (Province of Canada) and Beauce (Lower Canada). Its final election was in 1970. It disappeared in the 1973 election and its successor electoral districts were Beauce-Nord and Beauce-Sud.
