Vaucluse is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, located east of Sydney CBD. The electorate gets its name from the suburb of Vaucluse in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Vaucluse is one of two original (post 1927 redistribution) electorates to have never been held by the opposing Labor party and always by the Liberal Party or its predecessors, the other district being Hornsby. It has been represented in the past by former Leaders of the Opposition Murray Robson and Peter Debnam of the Liberal Party.
