Waverley was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, originally created in 1894, with the abolition of multi-member constituencies,{{cite web |url=http://www.atlas.nsw.gov.au/public/nsw/home/topic/article/1893-redistribution.html |title=1893 Redistribution |work=Atlas of New South Wales |publisher=NSW Land & Property Information |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623031719/http://www.atlas.nsw.gov.au/public/nsw/home/topic/article/1893-redistribution.html |archive-date=23 June 2015 |url-status=dead}} out of part of Paddington, and named after and including the Sydney suburb of Waverley. In 1904 Waverley lost part of the seat to Randwick and was expanded to include parts of Woollahra and Randwick. In 1920, with the introduction of proportional representation, it was absorbed into Eastern Suburbs. Waverley was recreated in 1927. In 1959 parts of Waverly and Paddington were combined to form Paddington-Waverley, which was abolished in 1962 and replaced by Bligh. In 1971, Bondi and Randwick were abolished and partly replaced by a recreated Waverley. At the 1990 redistribution, Waverley was abolished again and absorbed into Coogee and Vaucluse.{{NSW Parliamentary Record |part=5B |access-date=2020-11-03}}{{cite web|url=https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/members/formermembers/pages/former-members-index.aspx |title=Former members of the Parliament of New South Wales|publisher=Parliament of New South Wales |access-date=2020-11-03}}{{Cite NSW election |year=DistrictIndexes |district=Waverley |title=Elections for the District of Waverley |access-date=30 April 2019}}
