Bishopscourt, Anglican residence in East Melbourne, Australia.

Bishopscourt is a large colonial mansion on Clarendon Street in East Melbourne, built of bluestone in a Gothic style to designs by Newson & Blackburn and completed in 1853. A red brick wing was added in 1903. It is a private residence for Melbourne's Anglican bishops and archbishops, not a public building.

The mansion was constructed in 1853 by architects Newson and Blackburn, establishing its presence in East Melbourne. For a brief period between 1874 and 1876, it served as Victoria's Government House before returning to its religious purpose.

The property functions as the official home for Melbourne's Anglican bishops and archbishops, serving as a center for religious ceremonies and church gatherings. Its role in the community reflects the importance of the Anglican Church in the city's spiritual life.

Bishopscourt is a private residence on Clarendon Street in East Melbourne, so it is not open to visitors and cannot be entered from the street. It can be seen from the public roadway; the house stands on the Victorian Heritage Register, and its grounds are not a public garden.

Bishopscourt was Victoria's Government House from 1874 to 1876, between the terms of two governors, before returning to its role as the Anglican archbishop's residence. The house has been the home of every Anglican diocesan bishop and archbishop of Melbourne since it was finished in 1853.
