The electoral division of Hobart is one of the 15 electoral divisions in the Tasmanian Legislative Council. It was originally created in 1856 when the Council became the upper house of the Parliament of Tasmania. The seat was abolished in 1999 and re-created in 2008 after a redistribution saw the former division of Wellington returned to its former name.
The total area of the division is 62.29 square kilometres (24.05 sq mi), which covers the Hobart city centre and the suburbs of Battery Point, Dynnyrne, Fern Tree, Glebe, Lenah Valley, Mount Stuart, New Town, North Hobart, Ridgeway, South Hobart, and West Hobart.
As of 31 January 2019, there were 24,007 enrolled electors in the division.[2]
From 2012 to 2024, the member in the Legislative Council was Independent MLC Rob Valentine, who was the Lord Mayor of Hobart from 1999 to 2011. The last election in the division was in May 2024. Cassy O'Connor was elected.
