The Division of Werriwa is an Australian electoral division in the state of New South Wales. The name Werriwa derives from a local Aboriginal name for Lake George, which was located in the division when it was established in 1900. The division was one of the original 65 divisions first contested at the first federal election.
Werriwa now covers an area in south-west Sydney, including the suburbs of Ashcroft, Austral, Bonnyrigg Heights, Busby, Carnes Hill, Cartwright, Casula, Cecil Hills, Edmondson Park, Green Valley, Heckenberg, Hinchinbrook, Horningsea Park, Hoxton Park, Lurnea, Middleton Grange, Miller, Prestons, Sadleir, and West Hoxton; as well as parts of Bonnyrigg, Cecil Park, Glenfield, Kemps Creek, Mount Pritchard, and Rossmore.
The current Member for Werriwa, since the 2016 federal election, is Anne Stanley, a member of the Australian Labor Party.
