Edmonton was a federal electoral district represented in the House of Commons of Canada. When created in 1903 it was located in the North-West Territories. Following the creation of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan in 1905, the riding took in land in both the provinces, then after 1907 just in Alberta. It was abolished in 1914 when it was redistributed into Edmonton East, Edmonton West and Strathcona ridings.

Members of Parliament

The only person ever to represent this riding was Edmonton Liberal newspaper publisher Frank Oliver who was Minister of the Interior at a time when Alberta was being settled by European immigrants and when Alberta became a province in 1905.
