'''Viau''' ({{IPA|fr|vjo}}) is a provincial electoral district in the city of [[Montreal]] in [[Quebec]], [[Canada]] that elects members to the [[National Assembly of Quebec]]. It consists of the Districts of [[Saint-Michel, Montreal|Saint-Michel]] and [[François-Perrault]] (east of [[Papineau Avenue]]) in the Borough of [[Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension]] in Montreal.

It was created for the [[1973 Quebec general election|1973 election]] from parts of [[Dorion (provincial electoral district)|Dorion]], [[Gouin (provincial electoral district)|Gouin]], [[Jeanne-Mance (provincial electoral district)|Jeanne-Mance]] and [[Olier]] electoral districts.

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, its territory was unchanged.

The riding is named after former Quebec businessman [[Charles-Théodore Viau]], founder of the Biscuits Viau company.
