The Division of Australian Capital Territory was an Australian electoral division in the Territory of the same name. The division was created in 1949 and included the whole of the city of Canberra and surrounding rural areas.

Prior to 1949, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) had no representation in the Australian Parliament. Whilst the inaugural Member for the ACT was elected at the 1949 federal election, the Member could vote only on matters relating to the ACT. In 1966, full voting rights were granted.

In 1974, the division was divided into two new divisions, Canberra and Fraser. For most of its history it was a fairly safe seat for the Australian Labor Party.
