The Kurrajong electorate is one of the five electorates for the unicameral 25-member Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly. It elected five members at the 2016 ACT election.
Kurrajong was created in 2016, when the five-electorate, 25-member Hare-Clark electoral system was first introduced for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), replacing the previous three-electorate, 17-member system. The electorate is named after the Kurrajong tree (Brachychiton populneus), and also Kurrajong Hill, the name early settlers used for Capital Hill, the location of Parliament House.
The Kurrajong electorate consists of the districts of Canberra Central, Jerrabomberra, Kowen and Majura.
