The electoral district of Berwick is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Victoria.

The original electoral district of Berwick was created at the 1976 state election and abolished at the 2002 election. In the 2021 redistribution, it was revived as a new electoral district to be contested at the 2022 state election. ^[1] It covers areas from the abolished district of Gembrook, and covers outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. It includes the suburbs of Beaconsfield, Berwick, Clyde North and small towns around Cardinia Creek south of Emerald. ^[2]

The abolished seat of Gembrook was held by Liberal MP Brad Battin, who recontested Berwick and retained the seat at the 2022 election. Battin is the current leader of the opposition in Victoria since 27 December 2024.
