Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington is a federal and provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 2004. It first elected a member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2007 provincial election.

It was created in 2003 from parts of Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington and Lanark—Carleton ridings. In its first election in 2004, there was a battle between the sitting Members of Parliament (MPs) from those two ridings. Bill Vankoughnet, a former Progressive Conservative MP who had represented Hastings-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington prior to 1993, was also a candidate. Conservative candidate Scott Reid was elected by substantial margins in 2004 and 2006.
