The Division of Hume is an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales.
Since 1984, federal electoral division boundaries in Australia have been determined at redistributions by a redistribution committee appointed by the Australian Electoral Commission. Redistributions occur for the boundaries of divisions in a particular state, and they occur every seven years, or sooner if a state's representation entitlement changes or when divisions of a state are malapportioned.

It contains four local government areas: the Cowra Shire, the Goulburn Mulwaree Council, the Upper Lachlan Shire and parts of the Hilltops Council.
