The electoral district of Moreton was a Legislative Assembly electorate in the state of Queensland. It was first created in a redistribution ahead of the 1878 colonial election, and existed until the 1912 state election.[1]

Moreton replaced the former district of East Moreton, James Francis Garrick being the last member for East Moreton.[1][2]

Moreton was abolished in 1912, replaced by the Electoral district of Murrumba.
