Ottawa—Orléans is a provincial electoral district in eastern Ontario, Canada. It elects one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
It was created in 1999 from Prescott and Russell, Carleton East and Ottawa—Rideau. The electoral district was initially named Carleton—Gloucester, and the June 1999 provincial election was conducted by Elections Ontario under that name, but it was known as Ottawa—Orleans by the time of the October 2003 provincial election.
When it was created, the riding consisted of that part of the former city of Gloucester south of a line following Limebank Road to Leitrim Road to the Canadian Pacific Railway to Lester Road to Conroy Road, and east of a line following Green's Creek to the Queensway to Montreal Road to Blair Road to Innes Road to a transmission line and that part of the city of Cumberland north of Innes Road and west of Trim Road.
