Mount Margaret was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Western Australia from 1901 to 1930, located in what is now the Shire of Laverton in the northeastern Goldfields region.

The district had just the one member over the course of its 29-year existence. George 'Mulga' Taylor was first elected as the Labor Party candidate for seat at the 1901 state election. He later left the Labor Party with several other pro-conscriptionists during World War I, eventually ending his tenure in parliament as a member of the Nationalist Party.
