The Division of Grayndler is an Australian Electoral Division in inner Metropolitan Sydney, New South Wales. It is Australia's second-smallest electorate, covering an area of just 29.3 square kilometres in the inner-southern Sydney metropolitan area, including parts of the inner-west. The electorate includes the suburbs of Annandale, Ashfield, Dulwich Hill, Leichhardt, Marrickville, Newtown, and Petersham.
The division was created in 1949 and is named for Edward Grayndler (1867-1943), a Member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1921 to 1934 and 1936 to 1943, and General Secretary of the Australian Workers Union from 1912 to 1941. It was originally a solidly working-class area, although migration and gentrification have since radically changed its demography. Grayndler is the safest Labor held seat in New South Wales with the party currently enjoying a margin of 24.93%. Grayndler also has a very high percentage of Australian Greens voters currently at 18.7%.
