Kalgoorlie is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Western Australia.
The district includes not only the town of Kalgoorlie, but significant parts of the outback in central and eastern Western Australia.
Long a Labor stronghold, the district was lost to the Liberal Party at the 2001 state election. The new Liberal member, Matt Birney, was re-elected at the 2005 state election. The district then proceeded to change hands at every election until the 2025 state election where incumbent Labor MP Ali Kent retained the seat for the first time in 20 years.
