Hamilton Mountain is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968. The riding is located in the Hamilton, Ontario region.


The socio-economic composition of the Hamilton Mountain is diverse, having low-income public housing residents as well as million dollar estates, highly paid unionized workers and small-wage unskilled workers, and well-established families and recent immigrants.


This diversity makes Hamilton Mountain a swing riding where many elections are virtually two- or three-way ties. For instance, in 1988 less than a hundred votes separated the first and second-place finishers and in the 2004 election only three thousand votes separated the first and third-place finishers. In recent years, however, the riding has become one of the most solid NDP seats in Hamilton. From the 1990s to 2006, the races were between Liberals and NDP. Following the Liberal Party's collapse in the late 2000s, the Conservatives became the main competitors in the riding.
