The Division of Gippsland is an Australian electoral division in the state of Victoria. The division was proclaimed in 1900, and was one of the original 65 divisions to be contested at the first federal election. It is named for the Gippsland region of eastern Victoria, which in turn is named for Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales 1838–1846.
As of 2025, it covers the entire Shire of East Gippsland and Shire of Wellington, majority of the City of Latrobe, and a small portion of Shire of Baw Baw (near the town of Yallourn North). It includes the towns and regional cities of Bairnsdale, Lakes Entrance, Morwell, Sale and Traralgon.
