Ymir was the name of a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia located in the West Kootenay region. It is named after Ymir, a village east of Trail, B.C. and south of Nelson, B.C.. It made its first appearance on the hustings in the election of 1903 and lasted only until 1912, after which the area was represented by Nelson riding.
