Gough was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, named after the Gough County, which includes the town of Glen Innes. It was created in the 1904 re-distribution of electorates following the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90.{{cite web |url=http://www.atlas.nsw.gov.au/public/nsw/home/topic/article/1904-redistribution.html |title=1904 Redistribution |work=Atlas of New South Wales |publisher=NSW Land & Property Information |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623031821/http://www.atlas.nsw.gov.au/public/nsw/home/topic/article/1904-redistribution.html |archive-date=23 June 2015 |url-status=dead}} It consisted of the abolished seat of Glenn Innes and part of Inverell.
In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into Northern Tablelands, along with Armidale and Tenterfield.{{cite NSW election|title=Elections for the District of Gough |year=DistrictIndexes |district=Gough |access-date=2020-09-18}}{{NSW Parliamentary Record |part=5B |access-date=2020-09-18}}{{cite NSW Parliament |title=Mr Follett Johns Thomas (1863–1942) |id=1128 |former=Yes |access-date=22 May 2019}}
