Eumemmerring Province was an electorate of the Victorian Legislative Council. It existed as a two-member electorate from 1985 to 2006, with members holding alternating eight-year terms.

It was abolished from the 2006 state election in the wake of the Bracks Labor government's reform of the Legislative Council.
