Former state electoral district of New South Wales, Australia

Quirindi was an electoral district of a Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales from 1894 to 1904, named after Quirindi. The district was created when multi-member constituencies were abolished in 1894, and comprised the southern part of Tamworth and the south-eastern part of Gunnedah. The district was abolished in 1904 as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which reduced the number of members of the Legislative Assembly from 125 to 90, and partly replaced by Liverpool Plains.
