Grand Falls-Vallée-des-Rivières-Saint-Quentin (French:Grand-Sault-Vallée-des-Rivières-Saint-Quentin) is aprovincial electoral district for theLegislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.
It was created in1973 asGrand Falls. Though its boundaries were unchanged in1994, the name was changed toGrand Falls Region to reflect the fact that the district included not only theTown of Grand Falls but also the communities ofDrummond andSaint-André. The district underwent only slight boundary changes in2006 but the name was again changed to the less unusual and more easilybilingualGrand Falls-Drummond-Saint-André.
In the2013 redistribution the riding expanded significantly as it was nearly 30% underpopulated, and was renamedVictoria-La Vallée. It moved south taking in parts of Victoria County north of theAroostook River and north taking in the areas around and including theTown of St-Leonard.
Following the 2023 redistribution, the riding was renamedGrand Falls-Vallée-des-Rivières-Saint-Quentin.
