{{short description|Former Australian federal electoral division}}
The '''Division of Barrier''' was an [[Australian House of Representatives electoral Divisions|Australian Electoral Division]] in [[New South Wales]]. The division was created in [[1900]] and was one of the original 75 divisions contested at the [[Australian legislative election, 1901|first federal election]]. It was abolished in [[1922]]. It was named for the [[Barrier Range]] near the city of [[Broken Hill]] in western New South Wales. It covered Broken Hill and surrounding pastoral areas. It was a very safe seat for the [[Australian Labor Party]], although both its members left the ALP at the end their terms: [[Josiah Thomas]] to join the [[Nationalist Party of Australia|Nationalists]], and [[Michael Considine]] (a radical [[socialist]]) to sit as an independent.▼
