Wentworth was an electoral district for the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales established in 1880 and partly replacing Lachlan and named after and including Wentworth. From 1885 until the creation of Sturt in 1889, it elected two members. It was abolished in 1904, with the downsizing of Parliament after Federation.[1]
