Cloverdale—Langley City is a federal electoral district located in the Metro Vancouver area of British Columbia.

History

Cloverdale—Langley City was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the October 2015 Canadian federal election. It was created out of parts of Langley, South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale and Fleetwood—Port Kells.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding will lose all of its territory in Langley Township to Langley Township—Fraser Heights. It will also lose the area south of 64 Ave and west of 146 Street to Surrey Newton, and all of its territory north of 80 Avenue to Fleetwood—Port Kells. The changes will come into effect in the 2025 Canadian federal election.
