The Division of Capricornia is an Australian electoral division in the state of Queensland. It comprises the city of Rockhampton and stretches along the Pacific coast until the southwestern outer suburbs of Mackay.

Capricornia is a traditionally a Labor-voting electorate, having been Labor-held for 72 years of the 100 years since 1922. However, Capricornia has recently trended towards the Coalition since 2013. This political realignment was particularly noticeable at the 2019 federal election as blue-collar but highly paid mining workers deserted Labor for Pauline Hanson's One Nation and the Coalition.^[1] Similar voting trends can be found in the nearby electorates of Flynn and Dawson, as well as in Leichhardt.^[1]

Since 2013, its MP has been Michelle Landry of the National Party.
