The Division of Higgins is an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria for the Australian House of Representatives. The division covers 41 km2 (16 sq mi) in Melbourne's inner south-eastern suburbs. The main suburbs include Armadale, Ashburton, Carnegie, Glen Iris, Kooyong, Malvern, Malvern East, Murrumbeena, Prahran, Windsor, South Yarra and Toorak, as well as part of Ormond.
The division of Higgins is named after Justice Henry Bournes Higgins (1851–1929), who was a Member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly (1894) and president of the Carlton Football Club (1904). He was a founding Member of Australian House of Representatives, serving as the Protectionist member for Northern Melbourne and was the Attorney-General in the Watson Government (1904). He went on to become a Justice of the High Court of Australia (1906–1929).
Following the Electoral Commission's redistribution of federal divisions, the seat of Higgins will be abolished from the next Federal election. Constituents who are currently in Higgins will now be a part neighbouring divisions, such as Chisholm, Hotham, and Kooyong.
