Comox—Powell River was a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1979 to 1988.

This riding was created in 1976 from parts of Coast Chilcotin, Comox–Alberni and Skeena ridings.

It was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Comox—Alberni and North Island—Powell River ridings.

It consisted of

  • the Mount Waddington Regional District;
  • the Powell River Regional District, except Lasqueti Island and the adjacent smaller islands;
  • the Comox–Strathcona Regional District;
  • the Central Coast Regional District;
  • the southern part of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, i.e., the part lying south of a line drawn from east to west along Finlayson Channel, Sarah Passage, Tolmie Channel, Meyers Passage and Laredo Sound; and
  • the Sunshine Coast Regional District.
