Glenferrie Oval is an Australian rules football stadium located in Hawthorn, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
It is synonymous with and the historic home of the Hawthorn Football Club, who played there from 1903 and as a VFL/AFL club from 1925-1973, and retained the ground as an administrative and training base, although the club is currently moving to Waverley Park.
The location of the ground has always been expansion prohibitive, wedged between the Belgrave/Lilydale railway line and nearby side streets.
The ground includes the heritage registered grandstand (1938), named after Hawthorn legend Michael Tuck, a 1960s stand and social club (which was recently sold by the Hawthorn Football Club).
