The Electoral district of Warrandyte is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It is an outer metropolitan electorate and contains Warrandyte, Warranwood as well as parts of Croydon and Ringwood.
Warrandyte was traditionally a marginal seat, having been held by the Liberal from the seats foundation at the 1976 election until they lost government at the 1982 election. It then was Labor held until the 1988 election when it was the only seat won which the Liberals gained from Labor.
In recent years the seat has become quite safe for the Liberals, to the extent that Phil Honeywood comfortably held the seat at the 2002 election when over half of his Legislative Assembly colleagues lost their seats.
Honeywood retired at the 2006 election and fellow Liberal Ryan Smith easily retained the seat.
