Manicouagan is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968.

The riding was created in 1966 from parts of Charlevoix and Saguenay ridings.

The neighbouring ridings are Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine and Labrador.

This riding gained territory from Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord during the 2012 electoral redistribution.

It is named after the Manicouagan crater and it may also be a variant on Irish Naming convention (from Mac Aodhagáin), "Mhic Aogáin" or literally, "Egan's Wife".
