Hinchinbrook is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland.
The district in its present form is a narrow coastal strip running from just south of Innisfail to just north of Townsville; though neither town is part of the electorate. Hinchinbrook does include the towns of Cardwell, Ingham, Mission Beach and Tully. The electorate was first contested in 1950.
