Surrey-Whalley is a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada, in use from 1991 to 2024.

Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, the riding was split along 96 Avenue, with portions to the west becoming part of the new electoral district of Surrey North and portions to the east becoming part of the new electoral district of Surrey City Centre.[1]

On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. The last MLA was Bruce Ralston. He represented the British Columbia New Democratic Party.
