Wolfe was a former provincial electoral district in the Estrie region of Quebec, Canada.

It was created for the 1890 election from part of Richmond-Wolfe electoral district. Its final election was in 1970. It disappeared in the 1973 election and its successor electoral districts were Frontenac, Mégantic-Compton and Richmond.

Wolfe was named in honour of General James Wolfe, who led the English side in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.
