La Peltrie is a provincial electoral district in the Capitale-Nationale region of Quebec, Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec. It includes parts of the La Haute-Saint-Charles and Sainte-Foy–Sillery–Cap-Rouge boroughs of Quebec City, and a number of other small cities and municipalities.

It was created for the 1981 election from a part of Chauveau electoral district.

In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it lost Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures to Louis-Hébert and parts of Quebec City to Louis-Hébert and Chauveau, but gained some cities and municipalities from Chauveau and Portneuf.

2. Lawrence Cannon, Liberal (1985–1994)
3. Michel Côté, Parti Québécois (1994–2003)
4. France Hamel, Liberal (2003–2007)
