Laporte is a provincial electoral district in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec.

It was created for the 1973 election from parts of Taillon and Chambly.

It was named after former Liberal Minister Pierre Laporte who was kidnapped and killed by militants of the Front de libération du Québec during the October Crisis in 1970.

In the change from the 2011 to the 2017 electoral map, it will gain the area around the Champlain Mall from the riding of La Pinière.

  • Borough of Greenfield Park,
  • LeMoyne district of the Borough of Le Vieux-Longueuil,
  • Laflèche district of the Borough of Saint-Hubert

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, its territory was unchanged.
