Maitland is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales.
The district encompasses the entirety of the City of Maitland.
Maitland was created in 1904, replacing East Maitland and West Maitland. With the introduction of proportional representation in 1920, it absorbed parts of Upper Hunter, Singleton, Cessnock and Durham and elected three members. With the end of proportional representation in 1927, Maitland was split into the single-member electorates of Maitland, Upper Hunter and Cessnock.
