- Source: Watson Lake (electoral district)
Watson Lake is an electoral district which returns a member (known as an MLA) to the Legislative Assembly of the Yukon Territory in Canada. The riding is one of the Yukon's eight rural ridings and is one of the oldest ridings in the Yukon.
Watson Lake includes the communities of Watson Lake and Upper Liard and is situated on the traditional territory of the Ross River Dena Council and the Liard First Nation of the Kaska Dena. In accordance with the Yukon Electoral District Boundaries Act (2024), this riding will experience a significant westward expansion of boundaries into what is currently the neighbouring Pelly-Nisutlin and be renamed to Watson Lake-Ross River-Faro at the 2025 Yukon general election.
It is considered a Yukon Party stronghold.
