Victoria Park, Brisbane, Heritage park in Spring Hill and Herston, Australia.

Victoria Park, also called Barrambin, covers 27 hectares between Gregory Terrace, Bowen Bridge Road, Herston Road and Victoria Park Road in Spring Hill and Herston. A railway line built through it in 1882 split the park in two, and the Children's Hospital was built on its Herston side in 1883. Cricket pitches, a swimming pool and a golf course redesigned with a new clubhouse in 1974 occupy the remaining land.

Victoria Park was gazetted in 1875 and named after Queen Victoria. Before colonisation it was a Turrbal meeting place called Barrambin, meaning "the windy place". In 1846 police dispersed a camp, killing at least three people, and in 1849 British Army soldiers burned camps. A railway line cut through the park in 1882, and a children's hospital was built on park land in 1883.

The Turrbal name Barrambin means "the windy place". The land was a meeting and gathering site for groups travelling through the area, used for corroboree, dance, hunting and fishing, and for spearing challenges between families held near the RNA Showgrounds. In 2009 the council and Turrbal traditional owners agreed to add Barrambin as a dual name.

The park is bounded by Gregory Terrace, Bowen Bridge Road, Herston Road and Victoria Park Road, so entrances differ by side. A rail line built in 1882 cut the grounds into two sections, and the two halves are still reached separately. The land undulates, and the former golf course layout means paths do not always run straight between gates.

The Turrbal name Barrambin means "the windy place". In 2009 the Brisbane City Council and Turrbal traditional owners agreed to add Barrambin as a dual name for the park, and in 2020 the council announced plans for an Indigenous cultural learning centre on the land.
