Division of Coolgardie

The Division of Coolgardie was an Australian electoral division in Western Australia.

The division was one of the original 65 divisions to be contested at the first federal election in 1901. It was one of five electorates created by the Federal House of Representatives Western Australian Electorates Act 1900, an act of the parliament of Western Australia.

The division was named for the gold-mining centre of Coolgardie, on which it was based. It was a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party and was held by Hugh Mahon throughout its existence. It was abolished in a redistribution prior to the 1913 federal election and was effectively replaced by the new Division of Dampier.
