Toowong was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland from 1888 to 1992. It was centred on the Northern Brisbane suburb of Toowong.{{cite QldElectorate|date=28 April 2020}}
Redistributions over the years extended Toowong toward Mt Coot-tha and Moggill, and it shrank back toward the populated areas when Mt Coot-tha was given its own district.{{Cite web |url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/explore/parliamentaryrecord/sections/ParlRecord_p2_21_RepByElect_pp314to371.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2012-06-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120326093727/http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/explore/parliamentaryrecord/sections/ParlRecord_p2_21_RepByElect_pp314to371.pdf |archive-date=2012-03-26 |url-status=dead }}
Toowong was abolished in the 1991 redistribution, and its territories were absorbed into the districts of Mt Coot-tha and Indooroopilly.
