Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean (formerly known as Roberval) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1949.

The riding was created in 1947 from parts of Lake St-John—Roberval riding.

The neighbouring ridings are Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, Chicoutimi—Le Fjord, Jonquière—Alma, Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, and Saint-Maurice—Champlain.

A federal by-election to the 39th Canadian Parliament was held in this district on September 17, 2007 to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of former Bloc Québécois leader Michel Gauthier, who left to host a public affairs show on TQS. The byelection was won by Conservative candidate Denis Lebel. See Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean by-election, 2007.
