Parry Sound was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1904 to 1949. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was first created in 1903 from parts of Muskoka and Parry Sound riding.

It consisted of the territorial district of Parry Sound.

In 1933, it was expanded to include, in the territorial district of Nipissing, the townships of Ballantyne, Wilkes, Pentland, Boyd, Paxton, Biggar, Osler, Lister, Butt, Devine, Bishop, Freswick, McCraney, Hunter, McLaughlin, Bower, Finlayson, Peck, Canisbay and Sproule.

The electoral district was abolished in 1947 when it was merged into Parry Sound—Muskoka riding.
