Karama is an electoral division of the Legislative Assembly in Australia's Northern Territory.

It is an urban electorate, covering 8 km2 and taking in the Darwin suburbs of Karama and Malak, as well as parts of Berrimah and Marrara.

The Country Liberal Party's Mick Palmer won the seat in 1987, and as the incumbent member during the height of the CLP's dominance of Territory politics, had little trouble holding the seat through the next three elections.

Until the 2000s, it was almost unheard of for a sitting member to be defeated, so few thought Palmer would face much difficulty gaining a fourth term at the 2001 election.

However, the Labor Party swept through the northern suburbs of Darwin and Palmer was unexpectedly defeated by the ALP candidate, Delia Lawrie, the daughter of former long-serving independent MP Dawn Lawrie.
