Members of the Australian House of Representatives who have represented more than one state or territory

This is a list of Members of the Australian House of Representatives who have represented more than one state or territory during their federal parliamentary career. (No members of the Senate have ever represented more than one state or territory, although various attempts have been made.)

The first person to represent a second state was Billy Hughes. He had represented New South Wales since 1901, and was elected to a Victorian seat on 5 May 1917. On 16 December 1922 he was again elected to a NSW seat, the only person to return to his original state. Hughes is also the only person in this list whose parliamentary service was continuous.

The person in this list who most recently served in the parliament was Nelson Lemmon, who was defeated on 10 December 1955.

The only person who represented both a state and a territory was Lewis Nott (Queensland 1925-28; Australian Capital Territory 1949-51).

All states and territories except South Australia and the Northern Territory are represented in the list.
