Elgin—Middlesex—London is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1997.

It was created in 1996 from Elgin—Norfolk, Lambton—Middlesex, and London—Middlesex ridings. This riding lost territory to London—Fanshawe during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

Under the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution the riding will be largely replaced by Elgin—St. Thomas—London South. Smaller parts will move to Middlesex—London.
