Muskoka (provincial electoral district)

Muskoka is a historical provincial electoral division in Ontario, Canada. Established in 1886, it was succeeded by Muskoka-Ontario in 1934. The division returned to the electoral map in 1955, and was again replaced with Muskoka–Georgian Bay in 1987.

For most of its history, Muskoka was represented by members of the Conservative Party and its successor, the Progressive Conservative Party. George Marter, the division's first representative, was leader of the Conservatives from 1894 to 1896. Its last representative, Frank Miller, briefly served as Premier of Ontario in 1985.
