Robertson was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1894 to 1904, in the upper Hunter Region around Scone and named after John Robertson. The district was created when multi-member constituencies were abolished in 1894, and comprised the eastern part of the Upper Hunter and the western part of Patrick's Plains.
