Electoral district of Burnett

Burnett is an electoral district of the Queensland Legislative Assembly in central Queensland, Australia.

It covers most of the coastal region south of Gladstone, as well as coastal and inland regions around Bundaberg. Towns within its boundaries include Miriam Vale, Agnes Water, Rosedale, Bargara, Woodgate and Childers. The Burnett River flows through the electoral district, hence its name.

The Liberal National Party's Robert Messenger currently holds the seat, however it is considered a marginal seat.

Robert Mackenzie held the seat from 1860 to 1869.
