Leichhardt was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales

The district was created for the July 1859 election, partly replacing the United Pastoral Districts of Moreton, Wide Bay, Burnett, Maranoa, Leichhardt and Port Curtis in the present day central Queensland. It included the towns of Rockhampton and Emerald. The district is not to be confused with the former Sydney district of Leichhardt, based on the eponymous suburb. It ceased to be part of New South Wales in December 1859 with the establishment of Queensland as a separate colony.
