Alphington, Administrative area in Darebin, Australia

Located 7 kilometers northeast of Melbourne's Central Business District, Alphington borders both the Yarra River and Darebin Creek in Victoria.

The settlement of Alphington began in the 1840s with the construction of the Bridge Hotel and Darebin Creek Bridge along Heidelberg Road.

The land traditionally belongs to the Wurundjeri-willam people of the Kulin Nation, who gathered resources from the fertile region for sustenance and tools.

The suburb contains multiple educational facilities including Alphington Grammar School, Alphington Primary School, and St Anthony's Primary School, serving the local population.

From 1919 to 2012, the Amcor paper mill operated in Alphington until its demolition in 2017, following several incidents of Yarra River contamination.
