Woodville was a parliamentary electorate in the Manawatu-Wanganui Region of New Zealand from 1887 to 1890.

Population centres

In the 1887 electoral redistribution, although the Representation Commission was required through the Representation Act 1887 to maintain existing electorates "as far as possible", rapid population growth in the North Island required the transfer of three seats from the South Island to the north. Ten new electorates were created, including Woodville, and one former electorate was recreated.{{sfn|McRobie|1989|pp=50–53}}

The electorate was based on the town of Woodville. The localities of Ormondville, Dannevirke, and Norsewood were in the northern part of the electorate.^[1]
