The Electoral district of Belfast and Warrnambool was one of the original sixteen electoral districts^[1] of the unicameral Legislative Council of the British colony of Victoria in 1851 to 1856.

The district included the towns of Belfast (renamed to Port Fairy around 1889) and Warrnambool.^[1] It was abolished when the single house was replaced in 1856 by a bicameral system consisting of the Victorian Legislative Assembly (lower house) and Victorian Legislative Council (upper house, consisting of Provinces).^[2]
