This is a list of members of the 20th Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 1915 to 1918, as elected at the 1915 state election held on 22 May 1915.[1]
The election was a landslide for the Labor Party, with the previous premier Digby Denham and many of the Denham Ministry losing their parliamentary seats.
The members elected with the support of the Queensland Farmers' Union organised as the Country Party.
Unlike in most other states at this time, the Labor Party in Queensland did not split over the conscription issue; however, the former Liberal and Country members largely joined the National Party.
