Durham was an electoral district for the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales, named after Durham County, which lies on the north side of the Hunter River. From 1856 to 1859, it elected three members simultaneously by voters casting three votes with the three leading candidates being elected. It was recreated in 1880, replacing parts of Paterson and Williams, as a single-member electorate. It was abolished in 1920.
