Vancouver-Point Grey is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It was created out of parts of Richmond-Point Grey, South Vancouver, and Vancouver City, and was first contested in the general election of 1933 as a three-member district. It was reduced to a two-member district in 1966 when Vancouver-Little Mountain was created and was further reduced to a one-member district along with the other older multi-member urban districts in the redistribution preceding the 1991 election. When it was a multiple-member district, its seats were filled using plurality block voting, except in 1952 and 1953, when instant-runoff voting was used in a separate contest for each seat.

Many prominent politicians have been elected as members, including three British Columbia premiers: Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark of the Liberal Party, and David Eby of the New Democratic Party. Kim Campbell, who would later become prime minister of Canada, also represented this riding.

In 2023, a petition to recall the district's MLA, David Eby, was approved by Elections BC under the Recall and Initiative Act.[1][2] However, the petition did not attract the required number of signatures. This was the third invocation of the recall procedure in Vancouver-Point Grey since the act was passed in 1994. (The other two unsuccessful attempts, in 1998 and 2003, both targeted Gordon Campbell.)[3][4]

In 1988, Kim Campbell resigned as the MLA to run in the federal election. Tom Perry (NDP) won the seat in the 1989 by-election, finishing the term with Marzari as his seatmate.[16] A redistribution before the 1991 election dramatically changed Vancouver's long-standing electoral map by the abandonment of the century-old multiple member districts. Vancouver-Point Grey was trimmed with parts of going to the creation of Vancouver-Quilchena, Vancouver-Langara, and Vancouver-Burrard (mostly to Quilchena). In the 1991 election, Perry changed ridings and was elected in Vancouver-Little Mountain.
