The electoral district of Caulfield is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly that has existed since 1927.
It covers the metropolitan suburbs of Caulfield, Caulfield North, Caulfield South, Caulfield East, Elsternwick, Gardenvale, Ripponlea and Balaclava and parts of St Kilda East, St Kilda, Glen Huntly and Ormond.
The longest serving member is Ted Tanner, who held the seat for a period of 17 years, between 1979 and 1996.
The seat lies in the inner south-east metropolitan Melbourne and was once safe for the Liberal Party. However, a changing demographic and on-going electoral boundary changes have made the electorate increasingly marginal over the past decade. In the 2018 Victorian state election, the seat was won by the Liberal Party by just 205 votes.
The seat has been held by the Liberal Party for the majority of the time since its creation in 1927. The Labor Party has never held the seat.
Deputy Leader for the Victorian Liberal Party David Southwick is the current member of parliament for Caulfield.
