Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly, 1912–1915

This is a list of members of the 19th Legislative Assembly of Queensland from 1912 to 1915, as elected at the 1912 state election held on 27 April 1912.

Apart from the 1904–1907 term, when Labor had held two seats short of a majority, the parliament had been dominated by non-Labor forces since the separation of Queensland from New South Wales in 1860 — this was the last such parliament until 1957, apart from the 1929–1932 term led by the Moore Ministry.
