Windsor—Tecumseh is a federal and provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 2004. It will elect a member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the next provincial election.

It was created in 2003 from parts of Essex and Windsor—St. Clair ridings.

It consists of the Town of Tecumseh, and the part of the City of Windsor lying east and north of a line drawn from the U.S. border southeast along Langlois Avenue, east along Tecumseh Road East, and southeast along Pillette Road to the southern city limit.

The provincial riding boundaires will change to match Windsor—Tecumseh's boundaries for the 2007 Ontario provincial election.
