Electoral district of Deloraine

The electoral district of Deloraine was a single-member electoral district of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. Its population centre was the town of Deloraine in Tasmania's north-east between the centres of Launceston and Devonport.

The seat was created ahead of the Assembly's first election held in 1856, and was abolished when the Tasmanian parliament adopted the Hare-Clark electoral model in 1909.
