Mourilyan was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland from 1950 to 1992.[1]

First created for the 1950 state election, the district was based in north Queensland, centred on the town of Mourilyan, taking in areas previously belonging to the abolished district of Herbert.
