Buderim is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland. Based on the Sunshine Coast, the district is a very safe seat for the Liberal National Party, however it is currently held by Pauline Hanson's One Nation, after MP Steve Dickson defected to the party from the LNP.
A compact urban electorate, Buderim falls between the centres of Maroochydore and Nambour, bounded by the Bruce Highway to the west, and the Sunshine Motorway to the east. It includes the Sunshine Coast suburbs of Buderim, Mountain Creek, Kunda Park, Kuluin, Rosemount, Diddillibah, Kiel Mountain, Forest Glen, Mons and Tanawha.
A new district created for the 2009 state election, it was constructed mostly from the northern part of the district of Kawana and the western part of the district of Maroochydore. It also took a section of territory previously belonging to the district of Nicklin. Its inaugural member is Steve Dickson, previously the member for Kawana.
