Landsdale is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Wanneroo. Its postcode is 6065.

Landsdale was founded in approximately 1955, but it was not until the 1970's that the suburb first took that name. The area had been used as farming land from around 1900.

Historically, the suburb was once the sight of an ancient Aboriginal burial ground. The region was uninhabited for a long period due to the settler's belief that the spirits of the dead had harmed their crops and affected the water supply; it was not until farming land became scarce in the area that the land became utilised for that purpose. It is also believed that the once mighty Yagan was buried in the region.
