'''Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo''' (formerly known as '''Kamloops—Thompson''') is a former federal [[electoral district (Canada)|electoral district]] in the [[Provinces and territories of Canada|province]] of [[British Columbia]], Canada, that has been represented in the [[House of Commons of Canada]] from 2004 to 2025. While the riding covers a large area, about three quarters of the population in the district live in the city of [[Kamloops]].

==History==
This district was created as Kamloops—Thompson in 2003 from [[Kamloops, Thompson and Highland Valleys]] riding and small parts of [[Cariboo—Chilcotin]] and [[Prince George—Bulkley Valley]] ridings.

In 2004, the district was renamed "Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo".

The [[Canadian federal electoral redistribution, 2012|2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution]] concluded that the electoral boundaries of Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections.<ref name=report>{{Citation|url=http://www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca/content.asp?section=bc&dir=now/reports&document=index&lang=e|title=Final Report – British Columbia|access-date=August 28, 2013|archive-date=March 20, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180320130821/http://www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca/content.asp?section=bc&dir=now%2Freports&document=index&lang=e|url-status=dead}}</ref> The redefined Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo loses a portion of its current territory consisting of the community of [[Valemount, British Columbia|Valemount]] and area to [[Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies]] but is otherwise unchanged. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which came into effect upon the call of the [[42nd Canadian federal election]], scheduled for October 2015.<ref name=timeline>{{Citation|url=http://www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca/content.asp?section=info&document=index&dir=overview&lang=e|title=Timeline for the Redistribution of Federal Electoral Districts|access-date=August 28, 2013|archive-date=April 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170418222609/http://redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca/content.asp?section=info&document=index&dir=overview&lang=e|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Under the [[2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution]] the riding was replaced by [[Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-02-16 |title=Changes proposed for new Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola riding |url=https://www.wltribune.com/news/changes-proposed-for-new-kamloops-thompson-nicola-riding-5551268 |access-date=2024-04-23 |website=The Williams Lake Tribune |language=en}}</ref>
