Hawthorn is a residential suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria. It is in the Local Government Area of the City of Boroondara.
Though the nearby Swinburne University of Technology, which offers university and TAFE courses, has conferred numerous student housing institutions, the region is generally regarded to be one of Melbourne's surviving bastions of post-Gold Rush exuberance. Land values in the region are among the country's highest, especially in the prestigious Grace Park Estate straddling the suburb's Northern boundary.
It is also home of many schools, including Erasmus School of Primary Education.
It also gives its name to Hawthorn Australian rules football club.
