The north-east coast drainage division or north-east coast basin is the area of Queensland between the Great Dividing Range and the Pacific Ocean.
It lies between Torres Strait and an arbitrary line drawn along the Queensland - New South Wales border.
In the south the Australian south-east coast drainage division continues to the east of the Great Divide.
