Gippsland North (North Gipps Land or North Gippsland until 1889) was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Victoria located in northern Gippsland from 1859 to 1955.[1]

Bounded on the south and east by the sea ; on the north by a line bearing west from Cape Howe to the source of the nearest tributary of the Murray, and by the Alps; and on the west by the Alps and the counties of Evelyn and Mornington, excepting the country comprised in the Electoral District of South Gipps Land

Elections
At the 1859 election for North Gipps Land, Mr Boyd Cuninghame nominated Mr Johnson of Mewburn Park. Mr Johnson was a long time resident and his political views were well known. The nomination was seconded by Mr P. McArdell. No other candidate was nominated and therefore Mr Johnson was duly declared elected.[6]
