The electoral district of Glen Waverley is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Victoria.[1]

It was originally created for the 1985 Victorian state election and was abolished at the 2002 election.

At the 2021 redistribution, it was re-created following the abolition of the districts of Forest Hill and Mount Waverley, covering eastern Melbourne suburbs.[2]

It contains the suburbs of Glen Waverley, Vermont South, most of Forest Hill and Vermont, and parts of Blackburn South, Burwood East, and Wheelers Hill.[3]
