Claremont was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Western Australia from 1901 to 1968.
Located in the affluent western suburbs of Perth, it was a safe seat for the Liberal Party and its predecessor parties. Its abolition included Claremont, Mount Claremont, Swanbourne, and the western part of Dalkeith.
It was abolished at the 1968 state election, with its area mostly transferring to Nedlands, and smaller parts to the Electoral district of Cottesloe and the new district of Floreat.
Claremont's most notable member was Charles North, who served as Speaker from 1947 until 1953 during the McLarty–Watts Ministry.
