Halifax is a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1867. Its population in 2001 was 88,931.

The two strongest parties in Halifax are the Liberal Party and the New Democratic Party (NDP). Halifax Member of Parliament Alexa McDonough stepped down as NDP leader in 2003, but continued to represent Halifax and ran for re-election against popular city councillor Sheila Fougere in 2004. Fougere came close to beating the incumbent, but McDonough pulled ahead based partially on a strong showing in Halifax's North End.
