Division of Corinella (1990–1996)

The Division of Corinella was an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria, existing from 1990 to 1996. It was located in the southeastern suburbs of Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. Created for the 1990 federal election, it was named after Corinella, a small town on Western Port Bay.

The seat was generally considered a marginal seat. Its member throughout its existence was Russell Broadbent, who initially won the seat for the Liberal Party in 1990. He lost the seat to Labor's Alan Griffin in 1993, only to regain it in 1996.

Prior to the 1996 federal election, a redistribution of electoral boundaries resulted in the abolishment of the Division of Corinella. Broadbent subsequently contested and won the newly created Division of Flinders, which covered much of the same territory as the former Corinella.
