TheDivision of Moncrieff is anAustralian Electoral Division inQueensland. The current MP isAngie Bell of theLiberal Party.

Since 1984, federal electoral division boundaries in Australia have been determined at redistributions by a redistribution committee appointed by theAustralian Electoral Commission. Redistributions occur for the boundaries of divisions in a particular state, and they occur every seven years, or sooner if a state's representation entitlement changes or when divisions of a state are malapportioned.^[1]

The division was created in 1984 and is named afterGladys Moncrieff, an Australian singer who resided in theGold Coast.

Moncrieff is based onSurfers Paradise and the central portion of the Gold Coast. While the Gold Coast has always been a rather conservative area, Surfers Paradise is considered particularly conservative even by Gold Coast standards. As a result, Moncrieff has been a comfortably safeLiberal seat for its entire existence. Indeed, most of the area has been represented by centre-right MPs without interruption since 1906; the Surfers Paradise area was part ofMoreton before 1949, and then part ofMcPherson from 1949 to 1984. The Liberals have never won less than 58 percent of the two-party vote, and from 1993 until 2019 won enough primary votes to retain the seat without the need for preferences.

For years, it was one of the safestCoalition seats in Australia and one of the safest for either side of politics in Queensland.

AlthoughLabor to date has never won Moncrieff, it did win the primary vote in 1984 and 1987. This was due to the Liberal andNational parties fielding candidates against each other and therefore splitting the anti-Labor primary vote. On both those occasions, however, the Liberals retained the seat after National preferences flowed overwhelmingly to them.

In 2022, sitting Liberal National MPAngie Bell was reelected with less than 50% of the primary vote, the first time that a non-Labor candidate has done so without the presence of a second major party non-Labor candidate. In 2025, Bell suffered a further swing against her, with her majority falling to eight percent, the first time the seat has not been safe against Labor since 1990.
