Surrey-Whalley is a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada in use from 1991 to 2024.
Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, the riding was split along 96 Avenue, with portions to the west becoming part of the new electoral district of Surrey North and portions to the east becoming part of the new electoral district of Surrey City Centre.
Member of the Legislative Assembly
On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. Its MLA is Bruce Ralston. He was first elected in 2005, and was re-elected in the 2009 election. He represents the British Columbia New Democratic Party.
