The division of Bundaberg is an electoral district of the Queensland Legislative Assembly in central Queensland, Australia.

It covers the city of Bundaberg, as well as the immediate surrounding area, hence its name.

The National Party's Jack Dempsey currently holds the seat as of the 2006 state election.

The city's urban population has long made the seat a Labor stronghold. This changed in 2005 when the practices of rogue surgeon Jayant Patel at the Bundaberg Base Hospital were uncovered. The Beattie government was seriously embarrassed by the subsequent Commission's of Inquiry into the matter, and as a result the seat was considered winnable for the Nationals.

The previous member was ALP Member Nita Cunningham, a former mayor of Bundaberg. Her resignation in 2006 due to ill health trigged the State election.
