Mackenzie River was a federal electoral district in Northwest Territories, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1953 to 1963.
This riding was created in 1952 when Yukon—Mackenzie River riding was split into two. The parts within the Northwest Territories became Mackenzie River riding.
It was abolished in 1962 when it was merged into Northwest Territories riding.
It consisted the Provisional District of Mackenzie bounded on the west by the Yukon Territory; on the south by the parallel of the sixtieth degree of north latitude; on the east by the second meridian in the system of Dominion Land surveys, and on the north by the continental shore of the Arctic Ocean.
