Mitchell was a Legislative Assembly electorate in the state of Queensland, Australia.
The electoral district of Mitchell was created by the Additional Members Act of 1864 which introduced six new single-member electorates. A by-election was held to fill the seat. The nomination date was 18 March 1865 and the election was held on 25 March 1865.[1]
In 1885, part of Mitchell was removed to form the new Electoral district of Barcoo.
