The Electoral district of County of Cumberland was an electorate of the semi-elected unicameral New South Wales Legislative Council.[1]

It was created by the 1843 Electoral Districts Act and returned two members.[1]

It was abolished along with the original Council in 1856 prior to the establishment of the first bi-cameral Parliament of New South Wales.
