Port Melbourne was an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It was created in 1889, replacing the previous electorate of Sandridge, which was the former name for Port Melbourne.[1]
Port Melbourne was defined by the Electoral Act Amendment Act 1888 (taking effect at 1889 elections) as:
Commencing on the shore of Hobson's Bay opposite the end of Pickles-street; thence northerly by that street to Boundary-road ; north-westerly by that road and a line in continuation thereof to the Yarra River; down the Yarra River through the new channel to the shore of Hobson's Bay, and easterly by that shore to the commencing point.[2]
It was initially won by then-Sandridge MLA Frederick Derham.
It was abolished in 1958 and merged into the electorate of Albert Park.[3] The last MLA for Port Melbourne, Archie Todd went on to contest and win the Victorian Legislative Council seat of Melbourne West Province.[4]

Election results
Notes
- 1 There are conflicting sources as to whether Phillip Salmon, member from 1892 to 1894, was endorsed by Labor, as this was not always clear in the then-nascent party system of the 1890s.[5]
