Bramalea—Gore—Malton (formerly known as Brampton—Malton and Bramalea—Gore—Malton—Springdale) was a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada. In 2015, it was dissolved into the ridings of Brampton East, Mississauga—Malton, Brampton Centre and Brampton North.

The district was created as "Brampton—Malton" in 1987 from Brampton—Georgetown and Mississauga North. The name was changed to "Bramalea—Gore—Malton" in 1990, and to "Bramalea—Gore—Malton—Springdale" in 1998

In 2003, Bramalea—Gore—Malton—Springdale was abolished when it was redistributed between a new "Bramalea—Gore—Malton", Brampton—Springdale and Mississauga—Brampton South ridings.

In 2001, it had a population of 119,886 and an area of 151 km2.

It includes the neighbourhoods of Colerane, Ebenezer, Woodhill, Bramalea and Gorewood Acres in the City of Brampton and the neighbourhoods of Malton, Marvin Heights and Ridgewood in the City of Mississauga.

41.9% of people in Bramalea—Gore—Malton are of East Indian ethnic origin, the highest such percentage in Canada.[3] Slightly more than a quarter of the population (25.1%) are immigrants from Southern Asia, which is also the highest such figure for any riding.[4][5]
