Calgary McCall is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Canada.

Calgary McCall was created in 1971 and was formed out of the north half of Calgary East. Social Credit held this riding from its creation in 1971 to 1975, since then its been Progressive Conservative. The biggest victories came in the 70's and 80's, recently however as the demographics have become more diverse the popularity of the P.C.'s has started to slip, the past few elections have seen some close and bitter races.

This district is the second most ethnically diverse district in the province, it includes the Calgary International Airport, a large swath of industrial area, Airways Heights, Whitehorn, Taradale, Martindale Coral Springs, Saddleridge and the McCall Industrial Park.

The vote was conducted in 80 of the 83 provincial electoral districts with students voting for actual election candidates. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.
