Toowong Ward
| Toowong Ward Queensland — Brisbane City Council | |

| Namesake | Toowong |
Toowong Ward was a Brisbane City Council ward covering Toowong and surrounding suburbs. The ward was established for the 1994 election, and was created from parts of the abolished Taringa Ward and the second incarnation of Paddington Ward.[1]
The ward was represented by the Liberal Party, and subsequently the Liberal National Party throughout its existence. It was represented by Judy Magub from the 1994 election until her resignation in 2007.[1] Peter Matic was appointed to fill the resulting vacancy and represented the ward until its abolition.[1]
Successive redistributions saw the ward lose the majority of the suburb of Toowong to Walter Taylor Ward, leading to it being abolished ahead of the 2016 election. Its area largely became part of the third incarnation of Paddington Ward, with incumbent councillor Matic successfully contesting the new ward.[1]
