The Division of Kalgoorlie was an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Western Australia, named after the city of Kalgoorlie. The Division, which was proclaimed in 1900 as one of the original 75 divisions to be contested at the first Federal election, covered most of the land area of Western Australia, with a size of 2,295,354 square kilometres (886,241 sq mi) (an area the size of France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Poland and Great Britain combined).[1] It included the Goldfields-Esperance, Gascoyne, Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia, in addition to the eastern and far northern parts of the Mid West region, and the town of Merredin. It was the largest single-member electorate by area in the world.

The division was abolished at the 2008 redistribution, effective from the 2010 Australian Federal Election. Its territory was absorbed into the existing division of O'Connor and the new division of Durack.[2]
