Saint-Henri—Westmount (formerly known as Westmount) was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1968 to 1997.

"Saint-Henri" was created in 1966 from parts of Mount Royal, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Outremont—St-Jean, Saint-Antoine—Westmount, and St. Lawrence—St. George ridings.

In 1978, it was renamed "Saint-Henri—Westmount". In 1996, it was abolished when it was merged into LaSalle—Émard riding.
