The 1957 Queensland state election was held on 3 August 1957.

Since the previous election in 1956, the Labor Party had split, with all but one of the ministry and a number of supporters forming the separate Queensland Labor Party.

By-elections On 8 December 1956, Pat Hanlon (Labor) was elected to succeed Leonard Eastment (Labor), who had died on 29 July 1956, as the member for Ithaca.

Retiring Members Note: Gregory QLP MLA George Devries nominated for re-election, but died before polling day; the election for Gregory was thus postponed to 5 October 1957.

Country Tom Plunkett MLA (Darlington)
