Lac du Bonnet is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created by redistribution in 1957, and has formally existed since the provincial election of 1958. It is a relatively large constituency, located to the northeast of Winnipeg.

Lac du Bonnet is bordered to the west by Red River North and Dawson Trail, to the south by La Verendrye, to the north by Keewatinook and to the east by the Ontario border. Communities in the riding include Lac Du Bonnet, Pinawa, Beausejour (known as the birthplace of Edward Schreyer), Whitemouth, Tyndall, Hadashville, Ste. Rita, and Powerview-Pine Falls.[1]

The riding is currently regarded as a Progressive Conservative/New Democratic Party marginal. The Tories have held the seat since 1988, though they retained it by only a narrow majority in 2003.
