The electoral district of Croydon is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly in Australia. It was created in the redistribution of electoral boundaries in 2013, and came into effect at the 2014 state election.[1]
It largely covers the area of the abolished district of Kilsyth, covering outer eastern suburbs in Melbourne. It includes the suburbs of Croydon, Mooroolbark, Ringwood North, Kilsyth and Bayswater North.[2]
