The Electoral district of Clayton is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It is based around the Melbourne suburb of Clayton after which it is named, and it also includes Clarinda, Notting Hill as well as parts of surrounding suburbs.
It was created by the redistribution that abolished malapportionment in the Victorian Legislative Assembly prior to the 1985 election. It has always been a safe Labor seat.
