Etobicoke was a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada. It was created prior to the 1963 provincial election and eliminated in 1987, when its territory was incorporated into the riding of Etobicoke—Rexdale. Etobicoke riding was created from the northern part of York West. It was in the former borough of Etobicoke.

Two Members of Provincial Parliament represented the riding during its history. The most notable was Ed Philip who served in Bob Rae's cabinet in a number of roles from 1990 to 1995.
