Barambah was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland from 1950 to 2001.[1]

The district was based in the South Burnett region. It is best known for being the seat of long-serving Premier, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

Barambah was created in 1950, essentially as a reconfiguring of the old seat of Nanango. Fittingly, when Barambah was abolished in 2001, it was replaced by a recreated Nanango.

Barambah was the only seat in any Australian parliament to be won by a Citizens Electoral Council candidate - at the 1988 by-election.
