Electoral district of Hobart

For the earlier multi-member seat in this area (1856–1871), see Electoral district of Hobart Town. For the Legislative Council division, see Electoral division of Hobart.

The Electoral district of Hobart was a multi-member electoral district of the Tasmanian House of Assembly. It was based in Tasmania's capital city, Hobart.

It was created at the 1897 election under a trial of the Hare-Clark electoral model along with the seat of Electoral district of Launceston. It continued for two terms, before being broken up again in 1903 into Central, East, North, South and West Hobart. In 1909, the entire state adopted Hare-Clark, and the Launceston region became part of the Denison division.
