Upper Hunter is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales.

The seat is currently held by Dave Layzell for the National Party after he was elected at a by-election to replace Michael Johnsen.

In 1904 Robertson was abolished and Upper Hunter was recreated.

[2][3][4] Upper Hunter is one of three electorates to have never been held by the Labor Party and always by the conservative side of politics since the abolition of proportional representation in 1927, the other two being Tamworth and Oxley.
