38°22′S 142°14′E / 38.367°S 142.233°E / -38.367; 142.233 Port Fairy was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Victoria from 1889 to 1927.[1] It was created when the Electoral district of Belfast was renamed. Bryan O'Loghlen was the last member for Belfast, serving 1888–1889.[1]

It centred on the coastal town of Port Fairy in western Victoria. It was replaced in 1927 by the Electoral district of Port Fairy and Glenelg.[1]

In 2002, Port Fairy was incorporated into the South-West Coast electorate. Denis Napthine has been the sitting member since 2002.[2]
