Liverpool is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of the Australian state of New South Wales in Sydney's West. It is currently represented by Charishma Kaliyanda of the Labor Party.

The district is located in Western Sydney covering parts of Liverpool City Council and Fairfield City Council.

On its current boundaries, Liverpool takes in the suburbs of Ashcroft, Bonnyrigg, Bonnyrigg Heights, Busby, Cartwright, Cecil Hills, Elizabeth Hills, Green Valley, Heckenberg, Hinchinbrook, Hoxton Park, Len Waters Estate, Liverpool, Miller, Mount Pritchard, Sadleir and Warwick Farm.[1]

Liverpool was created in 1950 and has since always been represented by a member of the Labor Party. It has historically been one of the safest Labor seats in New South Wales and is considered a part of Labor's heartland in Western Sydney.[2][3] To the testament of how safe this seat is, at the 2011 election it became the safest ALP seat with sitting member Paul Lynch winning 64.7% of the two party preferred vote. As virtually all other ALP MPs were reduced to margins less than 55%. Though Ron Hoenig won a larger vote at the Heffron by-election held in August 2012 but that was achieved in the absence of a Liberal opponent.
