The Division of Makin is an electoral division for the Australian House of Representatives located in the northeastern suburbs of Adelaide. Established in 1984 and named after Norman Makin, a former MP and diplomat, it has been a marginal seat at most elections since. It includes the suburbs of Tea Tree Gully, Modbury, Salisbury Heights and Para Hills.

It is known as a mortgage belt seat, with a large proportion of the population in the area paying off home loans. In the 2006 census over 42 percent of the seat's electors had a home mortgage; ranking it 19th highest in Australia.^[1]
