The Electoral district of Maryborough was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Assembly based on an area around Maryborough, Victoria. It was created in the expansion of the Assembly by the Victorian Electoral Act, 1858,[1] which took effect at the election in 1859.

The district was defined as: <templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

Commencing at the junction of the Green Gully with the River Loddon; thence by that gully to its head; thence by a line west to the range dividing the waters of Joyce's Creek and the Deep Creek;[a] thence northwards by that range to a point due east of the south-east angle of the parish of Carisbrook; thence by a line due west to McNeil's Creek[b] ; thence by McNeil's Creek and the River Loddon, to the commencing point [1]

[a] also known as Tullaroop Creek.[2]         [b] also known as Bet Bet Creek.[3]

Maryborough was abolished by the Electoral Act Amendment Act 1876 (taking effect in 1877) and replaced by Electoral district of Maryborough and Talbot.[4]

Maryborough was recreated in 1889 after 'Maryborough and Talbot' was split by the Seat Distribution Bill of 1888.[5] In 1927 the district of Maryborough was again abolished, replaced by the Electoral district of Maryborough and Daylesford.
