South Surrey—White Rock (French: Surrey-Sud—White Rock) is a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 2015. It encompass a portion of British Columbia previously included in the electoral districts of Fleetwood—Port Kells, Newton—North Delta, and South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale.[2]

South Surrey—White Rock was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, on October 19, 2015.[3]

The 2017 by-election was won by Liberal candidate and former White Rock mayor Gordie Hogg.[4] However, the Conservatives were quick to regain their seat with Kerry-Lynne Findlay winning the 43nd Canadian federal election, defeating Gordie Hogg who entered Parliament through a by-election.[5]
