Members of the Western Australian Legislative Council, 1936–1938
This is a list of members of the Western Australian Legislative Council from 22 May 1936 to 21 May 1938. The chamber had 30 seats made up of ten provinces each electing three members, on a system of rotation whereby one-third of the members would retire at each biennial election.
Terms expiring in 1942 and thereafter were extended due to World War II by the Legislative Council (Postponement of Election) Act 1941 (No. 50 of 1941), which was given assent on 16 January 1942.

Notes
- 1 On 27 August 1936, West Province Labor MLC William Kitson was appointed Chief Secretary in the new Ministry led by John Willcock. He was therefore required to resign and contest a ministerial by-election, at which he was returned unopposed on 4 September 1936.
- 2 On 23 March 1938, North-East Province Nationalist MLC Charles Elliott died. No by-election was held due to the proximity of the 7 May 1938 Council elections.
