New Westminster is a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It was the final electoral district from the first British Columbia election of 1871 to continually exist until its abolition at the call of the 2024 election.

The riding is notable in a variety of ways. It never voted for a Social Credit candidate during the Socred's era of dominance between 1952 and 1991. It was also represented by Byron Ingemar Johnson, the 24th premier of British Columbia.

During the 1990s, the riding was represented by Anita Hagen, who served as deputy premier of British Columbia and minister of Education from 1991 to 1993 during the premiership of Mike Harcourt. Hagen was replaced by Graeme Bowbrick in 1996, who served as minister of Advanced Education in 2000, and attorney general from 2000 to 2001.

Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution the riding was dissolved into Burnaby-New Westminster and New Westminster-Coquitlam.[1]
