TheDivision of Hume is anAustralian electoral division in thestate ofNew South Wales.

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. The division was named afterHamilton Hume, one of the first Europeans to travel through the area. It was located in southern NSW on the Victorian border and encompassed the town ofAlbury.

Since then, it has gradually moved north-east, and will encompass outer south west Sydney in the2025 federal election.^[2]

The division is located in the central part of the state, north of theAustralian Capital Territory. The division covers a large rural and regional area, with agriculture being the main industry. It also includes a portion of outer Sydney suburbs at its northeastern extremity. It includesBoorowa andGoulburn in the west, parts of theSouthern Highlands in the centre andCamden in the east. It includes the entirelocal government areas ofGoulburn Mulwaree andUpper Lachlan shires and parts ofCamden Council,Hilltops Council, theCity of Liverpool, theCity of Penrith,Wingecarribee Shire andWollondilly Shire.
