Chicoutimi—Le Fjord (formerly known as Chicoutimi) is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1925.

It was created as "Chicoutimi" riding in 1924 from Chicoutimi—Saguenay. It was re-named "Chicoutimi—Le Fjord" in 2000.

The neighbouring ridings are Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, Manicouagan, Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, Roberval—Lac-Saint-Jean, and Jonquière—Alma.
