TheDivision of Wide Bay is anAustralian electoral division in thestate ofQueensland. The current MP isLlew O'Brien of theNational 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 proclaimed in 1900, and was one of theoriginal 65 divisions to be contested at thefirst federal election. Wide Bay is located in south east Queensland and includes the cities ofMaryborough,Gympie,Noosa, all ofK'gari, and inland areas extending west toMurgon.

Notable representatives have included three timePrime MinisterAndrew Fisher, who was the seat's first member. However, it has been a conservative seat for most of its history; only one other Labor member has ever won it.Warren Truss, former leader of theNational Party andDeputy Prime Minister of Australia, held the seat from 1990 to 2016.
