The Division of Braddon is an Australian Electoral Division in Tasmania. The division was created in 1955 (it was previously called Darwin), and is named for Sir Edward Braddon , a Premier of Tasmania and one of Tasmania's five orginal federal MPs. It is located in the north-western part of Tasmania, and now includes the towns of Burnie, Devonport, Ulverstone and Wynyard. Braddon has usually been a marginal seat, changing hands between the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party.
