Junction Oval, Cricket field in St Kilda, Australia

Junction Oval is a cricket ground in St Kilda, Melbourne, with a turf playing field ringed by grass embankments and a white picket fence. The Kevin Murray Stand (1925–26) and the Don Blackie–Bert Ironmonger Stand (1933–34), both designed by E. J. Clark, stand at the southern end, and a manual scoreboard and kiosk built in 1956–57 sit at the northern end. The ground holds 7,000 spectators.

The St Kilda Cricket Ground opened on its present site in 1856 alongside the St Kilda Cricket Club. Australian rules football was played there from 1870 to 2015, including the first senior premiership match, and the ground hosted most VFA top-division grand finals between 1945 and 1987. A $40 million redevelopment between 2015 and 2018 made it Cricket Victoria's headquarters, unveiled before Victoria played New South Wales on 3 March 2018.

The name comes from the nearby St Kilda Junction, not a tramway junction. The ground has been home to St Kilda Cricket Club since 1856 and is now Cricket Victoria's headquarters, hosting Victoria men's and women's matches and Women's Big Bash League games. The 1956–57 manual scoreboard remains a landmark of the junction area.

The ground sits near St Kilda Junction, about five kilometres south of central Melbourne, in the southern part of the Albert Park sporting precinct. The 2015–18 redevelopment gave it a capacity of 7,000 and an outdoor turf training area with a ten-lane indoor centre. Four floodlights installed in 2026 allow night matches.

A well-known Australian cricketer made his first-class debut here in the early 1990s. The oval is also listed on the Victorian heritage register, which recognizes the architectural value of the old grandstand buildings.
