This is a list of members of the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1943 to 1945, as elected at the 1943 state election.
On 25 September 1945, a cross-party group of five United Australia members, two Country members and one Independent voted with Labor and two left-wing Independents to defeat the Dunstan Ministry. The end result, on 2 October 1945, was the swearing in of the Macfarlan Ministry and the calling of the 1945 election.
