Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les-Basques (formerly known as Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata) was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1997 to 2004.

This riding was created in 1996 as "Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata" from parts of Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup riding. Its name was changed in 1997 to "Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup—Témiscouata—Les Basques".

It consisted of:

  • the cities of Cabano, Dégelis, La Pocatière, Notre-Dame-du-Lac, Pohénégamook, Rivière-du-Loup, Saint-Pascal and Trois-Pistoles;
  • the County Regional Municipality of Rivière-du-Loup, including Cacouna Indian Reserve No. 22 and Whitworth Indian Reserve; and
  • the county regional municipalities of Kamouraska, Les Basques and Témiscouata.

    • It was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed into Rivière-du-Loup—Montmagny and Rimouski—Témiscouata ridings. Its only Member of Parliament was Paul Crête of the Bloc Québécois.
