Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner (formerly Medicine Hat) is a federal electoral district in southern Alberta, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1908.
Following the Canadian federal electoral redistribution, 2012, the riding was renamed Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner.[3]
In 2006, 40.3% of the population of the Medicine Hat riding were of German ethnic origin, the highest such percentage in all of Canada.[4]
In the 42nd Canadian Parliament, the seat was represented by Jim Hillyer of the Conservative Party of Canada until his death on March 23, 2016. The seat is currently vacant. Writs for a by-election must be issued within 180 days of Elections Canada being officially informed of the vacancy, which occurred on March 24, 2016; therefore the election must be called by September 20, 2016. After the writ is issued, the campaign must last a minimum of 36 days. This will be the first by-election in the history of the Medicine Hat constituency.
Geography
The constituency covers the City of Medicine Hat and surrounding areas in the southeast corner and southern border region of Alberta, including Cypress County, the County of Forty Mile No. 8, Warner No. 5 and Cardston County.

Soon after the province of Alberta was admitted to Confederation in 1905, this electoral district was created – in 1907 – from Alberta (Provisional District) and Assiniboia West ridings.
During the 2012 electoral redistribution, "Medicine Hat" was largely succeeded by "Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner", losing territory to Bow River and Battle River—Crowfoot, and gaining territory from Lethbridge and Macleod.
