Kootenay-Monashee (formerly Kootenay West) is a provincial electoral district in British Columbia that has been represented in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia since 2009.

It was established during the 2008 British Columbia electoral redistribution and was first contested in the 2009 general election. The riding adopted its current name and underwent minor boundary changes following the 2024 general election, which implemented the results of the 2021 redistribution.

The riding is considered a safe NDP seat; the party has won 12 of the last 13 elections since 1972.
