Olds-Didsbury

Olds-Didsbury was a provincial electoral district in central southern Alberta, Canada. The riding was created in 1963 as a merger between the Olds and Didsbury ridings.

In 1997 the riding merged with the north part of Three Hills-Airdrie to form Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, the south part became Airdrie-Rocky View.

This riding was the location of a famous by-election in 1982, when the separatist Western Canada Concept achieved victory.
