The Electoral district of Yuroke is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It is situated in the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne, starting from and including Melbourne Airport and heading north beyond the metropolitan boundary. It was created in a redistribution before the 2002 state election, replacing the abolished electorate of Tullamarine.
Included within its boundaries are Attwood, Bulla, Craigieburn, Gladstone Park, Greenvale, Kalkallo, Mickleham, Oaklands Junction and Yuroke, as well as parts of Roxburgh Park, Somerton, Tullamarine and Westmeadows.
It is considered to be a very safe Australian Labor Party seat.
