Derrimut is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It is located in the western suburbs of Melbourne and contains the suburbs of Albion, Derrimut as well as parts of St Albans and Sunshine.

It was first created in the redistribution undertaken before the 1985 election where it was easily won by the Labor Party's David Cunningham he held the seat until it was abolished before the 1992 election with Cunningham contesting and winning the seat of Melton.

However the seat was re-established prior to the 2002 election where it was won by Telmo Languiller whose seat of Sunshine was abolished in the same redistribution.

The seat is notable for having the highest percentage on voters born outside of Australia.
