The Queensland parliamentary term extension referendum was a one-question referendum held in the Australian state of Queensland on 23 March 1992. Electors were asked if they approved of extending the maximum term of the Parliament of Queensland from three years to four years. The referendum was conducted by the Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ).
