Yukon is a federal electoral district covering the entire territory of Yukon, Canada. It has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1902 to 1949 and since 1953.

The city of Whitehorse comprises an overwhelmingly large portion of the electorate and thus elections are fought on a comparatively small area.
