Jonquière—Alma was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 2004 to 2011.
It was created in 2003 from parts of Jonquière and Lac-Saint-Jean—Saguenay ridings.
It consists of:
- the borough of Jonquière in the City of Saguenay,
- the City of Alma in the Regional County Municipality of Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, and
- the municipalities of Bégin, Larouche, Saint-Ambroise, Saint-Charles-de-Bourget and Saint-David-de-Falardeau in the Regional County Municipality of Le Fjord-du-Saguenay.
The neighbouring ridings are Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean and Chicoutimi—Le Fjord.
