The Electoral district of Tarneit is an electoral district of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. It was created before the 2002 election where it replaced the seat of Werribee.

The seat is located in the south western suburbs of Melbourne, including Werribee, Tarneit and the eastern parts of Hoppers Crossing. It is a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party with a current margin of 12.47%, and 17.4% prior to the 2006 election.

Tim Pallas is the current member who was first elected in November 2006. He won the seat after beating the sitting Labor member Mary Gillett for preselection. Prior to his election to Parliament he was Victorian Premier Steve Bracks Chief of Staff. Support from Bracks was crucial in Pallas gaining preselection.
