The Electoral district of Narracan is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It was first proclaimed in 1967 and has usually been held by the Liberal Party.
The electorate covers the provincial centres of Warragul and Moe as well as many smaller rural towns in north west Gippsland.
Narracan was held by the Liberal Party until the 1999 election when it was one of the many rural seats to fall to Labor, with Ian Maxfield defeating Florian Andrighetto. Despite a redistribution which made the seat notionally Liberal, Maxfield extended his majority to 6.8% at the 2002 election.
However at the 2006 election Narracan was a surprise gain for the Liberals.
