Hillarys is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Western Australia.

The district is based in Perth's northern suburbs. Politically, it is a safe Liberal seat.

Hillarys is an outer northern suburban seat in Perth. It is bounded to the north by Whitfords Avenue, to the east by the Mitchell Freeway, to the west by the Indian Ocean and to the south by a series of roads including Warwick Road. The district includes the suburbs of Hillarys, Padbury, most of the suburbs of Sorrento, Duncraig and a small part of Marmion.

The district was first contested at the 1996 state election, essentially replacing the seat of Whitford. It was held by Liberal MP Rob Johnson from its creation until his 2017 defeat, after resigning from the party to sit as an independent.
