The electoral district of Werribee is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Victoria. It has existed in two incarnations, first from 1976 to 2002,[1] and was created again in the 2013 redistribution and came into effect at the 2014 state election.[2]
Based on the rapidly growing outer south west suburbs of Melbourne, it takes in areas from Tarneit and Lara. It covers the suburbs of Werribee, Wyndham Vale, and the rural areas surrounding these suburbs to the south and west.[3]
Werribee was estimated to be a safe Labor seat with a margin of 11.4%, and was held by Labor with a further 4.2% swing towards them at the 2014 state election.[4]
Following a 2025 by-election Werribee became an ultra-marginal seat with a 10.1% swing to the Liberal candidate.
