Sackville—Cobequid is a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elects one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The riding was created in 1978 when the former district of Halifax Cobequid was redistributed. In 1993 the name was changed to Sackville-Cobequid and it gained the Lakeview area from Bedford-Musquodoboit Valley and lost an area north of Beaverbank Road to Sackville-Beaver Bank. In 2003, there were minor changes made to the ridings northern boundary along Second Lake. In 2013, this district lost a small area along its northwestern edge to the new constituency of Sackville-Beaver Bank. Its Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) since 2019 is Steve Craig of the Progressive Conservative party (PC), having succeeded longtime MLA Dave Wilson of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party (NDP), who served from 2003 until resigning on November 16, 2018, triggering a by-election which Craig won. Sackville-Cobequid became the only Progressive Conservative riding to be flipped away from the PCs in the 2024 election, instead electing the NDP candidate Paul Wozney.
