Boothby, Federal electoral division in Adelaide, Australia
Boothby is a federal electoral division covering the southern suburbs of Adelaide. The area includes the City of Holdfast Bay and parts of several neighboring municipalities, forming a distinct electoral region in South Australia.
The division was established in 1903 during a federal redistribution of electoral boundaries. It took its name from William Robinson Boothby, who oversaw every state parliamentary election from 1856 until his retirement in 1903.
