East Melbourne was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Victoria from 1859 to 1927.
It was defined in the 1858 Electoral Act as:
Commencing at that point on the north bank of the River Yarra Yarra intersected by a line passing through the centre of Elizabeth-street; thence north-westerly by a line passing through the centre of Elizabeth-street to Victoria-street; thence east by a line passing through the centre of Victoria-street and Victoria-parade to Gisborne-street; thence southward by the eastern side of Gisborne-street and a line bearing south to the River Yarra Yarra; and thence westerly by the north bank of the River Yarra Yarra to the commencing point.
Initially the district was created with two members, this was reduced to one member from the Assembly elections of 1904.
