Kelowna-Lake Country is a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada, in use from 2001 to 2024. It should not be confused with the federal electoral district of Kelowna—Lake Country, which encompassed a somewhat larger area.

Under the 2021 redistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, the electoral districts in the Kelowna area were substantially redrawn. A significant number of the riding's residents shifted into the new district of Kelowna Centre, while the balance joined with the community of Coldstream in the new district of Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream.[1]
