Klondike is a territorial electoral district of Yukon that has been represented in the Yukon Legislative Assembly since 1917.

As one of Yukon's eight rural ridings, it is the oldest riding in Yukon, first established in 1905. The district includes Dawson City and its environs, as well as Eagle Plains. Klondike was the only seat won by the Yukon Party in the 2000 general election and the only seat held by the Yukon Liberals prior to the 2016 election.

From 2011 to 2025, the district was represented by Sandy Silver, former Premier of Yukon and leader of the Yukon Liberal Party.
