Richmond was a federal electoral district in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1867 to 1917.

It was created by the British North America Act, 1867.

A law to abolish the riding was passed to merge it with Cape Breton South into Cape Breton South and Richmond in 1914.

This was duly carried out when the first elections were held with new boundaries and the new name in 1917.
