Electoral district of Gordon (New South Wales)

Gordon was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales. Originally created in 1904, replacing Willoughby. With the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into the five-member electorate of Ryde, along with Burwood and Willoughby. It was recreated in 1927, but was abolished in to 1999. It originally covered most of the suburbs of the Ku-ring-gai Council local government area (then known as Ku-ring-gai Municipality), including the suburbs of Lindfield and Gordon.

Recent Member of Parliament representing Gordon included:

At the redistribution prior to the 1995 State election, the electorate of Gordon was abolished. The suburbs previously included in the Gordon electorate were reassigned to Ku-ring-gai (mostly) with some areas to Willoughby and some small areas to Davidson. Subsequent periodic redistributions have resulted in most of the suburbs formerly in Gordon electorate now being within the Davidson electorate.
