Virden is a former provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada. It was created by redistribution in 1903,[citation needed] and was eliminated in 1989, when its territory was combined with Arthur to create Arthur-Virden.[1][2]
Virden was located in southwestern Manitoba, along the border with Saskatchewan to its west, and bordered to the south by the Arthur constituency.
