Somerset was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland from 1950 to 1992.[1]

Its area was mostly inherited from the abolished district of Stanley, located in the upper Brisbane River valley. It was named after Lake Somerset.

Somerset was mostly a safe Country/National party seat, although was won by Labor in the 1953 election.

It was abolished in the 1991 redistribution, and its territory was distributed between the districts of Lockyer and Crows Nest.
