Nelson-Creston is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It made its first appearance on the hustings in the general election of 1933 following a redistribution of the earlier Nelson riding.


Historically, the riding was consistently held by the "free enterprise" party of the era. Until 1952, this alternated between the Liberals and the Coalition, while after 1952, Social Credit won every election until the NDP victory in 1972.


Since 1972, the NDP has won all but two elections: in 1986, Social Credit won the riding along with many others in the Interior and in 2001, prominent NDP Cabinet minister, Corky Evans, was defeated in an election that saw all but two NDP MLAs suffer defeat. Since 2005, the NDP has won the riding by wide margins.
