Compton—Stanstead is a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1997.

It was created in 1996 from Mégantic—Compton—Stanstead and Richmond—Wolfe ridings.

Geography

The southern Quebec riding on the US border southeast of Sherbrooke is located in the Quebec region of Estrie. It consists of the RCMs of Coaticook and Le Haut-Saint-François, the eastern half of Memphrémagog, and parts of Le Val-Saint-François and the city of Sherbrooke.

Main towns include Coaticook, Lennoxville (now part of Sherbrooke), North Hatley, Stanstead, and Ayer's Cliff.

Neighbouring ridings are Brome—Missisquoi, Richmond—Arthabaska, Sherbrooke, and Mégantic—L'Érable.
