Electoral district of Dandenong
- Electoral district of Dandenong
The Electoral district of Dandenong is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It was first proclaimed in 1904 when the district of Dandenong and Berwick was abolished.
The seat is currently based around Dandenong and its surrounding suburbs, although in previous years the seat has had a more rural character. Traditionally it has been a key marginal seat, but since the 1970s demographic changes have made it a very safe Labor Party seat. However, during the Kennett government the seat became very marginal again, and at the 1999 election the Liberals put a substantial effort into an ultimately unsuccessful attempt at winning the seat. The neglect of their own marginal seats was seen as one of the reasons why the Coalition narrowly lost government at that election.

The current member is John Pandazopoulos who has a very safe 20.3% margin.
