Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. It was named for the Grampian Ranges in central Victoria, and included the towns of Daylesford, Maryborough, St Arnaud and Stawell. It was a marginal seat.

In 1913, it gained areas from the abolished divisions of Mernda (Kyneton and Woodend) and Laanecoorie (Maryborough and Daylesford).{{cite web|url=https://handbook.aph.gov.au/electorates/Victoria/Grampians|title=Grampians|website=Parliamentary Handbook|access-date=18 June 2025}} It was abolished in 1922.
