Marsh Lake-Mount Lorne-Golden Horn (formerly Mount Lorne-Southern Lakes) is a territorial electoral district of Yukon that has been represented in the Yukon Legislative Assembly since 2011.
The riding was created in 2009 by merging most of the former districts of Mount Lorne and Southern Lakes. In accordance with the Yukon Electoral District Boundaries Act (2024), the district was split into Marsh Lake-Mount Lorne-Golden Horn and Southern Lakes for the 2025 Yukon general election.[1][2]
