The Division of Grampians was an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. It was named for the Grampian Ranges in central Victoria, and included the towns of Daylesford, Maryborough, St Arnaud and Stawell. It was a marginal seat.
The division was created in 1900 and was one of the original 75 divisions contested at the first federal election. In 1913, it gained areas from the abolished divisions of Mernda (Kyneton and Woodend) and Laanecoorie (Maryborough and Daylesford). It was abolished in 1922.
