Fairfield is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is shared across the Local Government Areas of the City of Yarra and the City of Darebin.

Because it is situated on what many regard as the fringes of Melbourne's popular and much-revived 'inner city', gentrification has been strong, and property prices are high. Fairfield's commercial outlets have prospered in recent years, with a recent influx of cafes, bars and specialist shops to Station Street, the commercial hub. To the south is the Yarra River and surrounding parkland, and the much-admired Fairfield Boathouse.

It is serviced by Fairfield railway station, which is on the Hurstbridge line. Adjacent to the station, facing North-East, is a 6-metre-tall wooden dog.

Yarra Bend is a locality in Fairfield.

Fairfield is predominantly residential, with a small north-eastern pocket remaining a light industrial area. It also features a three-storey coffee palace, the Grandview Hotel, built in 1888.
