'''Grey—Simcoe''' was a federal [[electoral district (Canada)|electoral district]] represented in the [[House of Commons of Canada]] from 1968 to 1988. It was located in the [[provinces and territories of Canada|province]] of [[Ontario]]. This riding was created in 1966 from parts of [[Grey North (federal electoral district)|Grey North]], [[Grey—Bruce]] and [[Simcoe East (federal electoral district)|Simcoe East]] [[Riding (division)|ridings]].

It initially consisted of the City of Owen Sound, the Village of Chatsworth and the Townships of Collingwood, Euphrasia, Holland, Osprey, St. Vincent, and Sydenham in the County of Grey; and Christian Islands [[Indian reserve]] No. 30 and the Townships of Flos, Nottawasaga, Sunnidale and Tiny (excepting the Town of Penetanguishene) in the County of Simcoe.

In 1976, it was redefined to consist of the City of Owen Sound, the Townships of Artemesia, Collingwood, Euphrasia, Proton, Osprey, Sarawak, St. Vincent, and Sydenham (including the Town of Markdale) in the County of Grey; and the Townships of Nottawasaga and Sunnidale (including the Town of Wasaga Beach) in the County of Simcoe.

The electoral district was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed between [[Bruce—Grey]], [[Simcoe Centre]], [[Simcoe North (federal electoral district)|Simcoe North]] and [[Wellington—Grey—Dufferin—Simcoe]] ridings.
