The Division of Macquarie is an Australian Electoral Division in New South Wales. The division was created in 1901 and is named for Lachlan Macquarie, who was Governor of New South Wales between 1810 and 1821. It is located to the west of Sydney, and today is mostly composed of the Blue Mountains. It has changed hands many times during its long history, but in recent elections Kerry Bartlett has consolidated his 1996 win to make the electorate a fairly safe Liberal seat.
