The Division of Petrie is an Australian Electoral Division in Queensland.
The division was created in 1948. Petrie is located in south east Queensland, and is generally based on the outer northern suburbs of the City of the Brisbane. It covers the older northern suburbs of Stafford and Chermside and stretches northwards to take in the whole of the City of Redcliffe and the shire council of Pine Rivers. It includes the upmarket suburbs of Aspley and McDowall. The division covers an area of 149 square kilometres in 2005. The electorate has a higher-than-average percentage of pensioners and self-funded retirees, and is mainly residential, with some light industrial and commercial activities.
The division is named after Andrew Petrie (1798-1872), a noted civil engineer, pioneer and explorer, and the first free settler in Brisbane (1837).
