The electoral district of Ringwood is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, located in the east of Melbourne. It was first proclaimed in 1958 and was abolished in 1992.[1] Some of Ringwood was included in the new electoral district of Bayswater that year. Kay Setches, the last member for Ringwood, contested and lost Bayswater at the 1992 election.

The electorate was created again in the 2013 redistribution of electoral boundaries that took effect at the 2014 state election.[2] The new district largely replaces the abolished district of Mitcham, covering suburbs along the eastern parts of the Maroondah Highway.[3] The abolished district of Mitcham was held by Liberal MP Dee Ryall, who lost the seat in a big swing against her in 2018.

As of the 2022 Victorian state election, the seat contains the suburbs of Heathmont, Mitcham, Nunawading, Ringwood East, most of Ringwood, and parts of Blackburn, Blackburn North, Donvale, Forest Hill, and Vermont. The district's boundaries were also adjusted to account for local population changes. Ringwood North was transferred to Warrandyte, while parts of Blackburn, Forest Hill, Vermont, and Heathmont were absorbed into the seat.[4]
