Vermont is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria. It is in the Local Government Area of the City of Whitehorse. The stress is on the first syllable, unlike the U.S. state.

Vermont is located within the Whitehorse City Council (Morack Ward).

The suburb of Vermont is the location of the Vermont Volunteers Roll of Honour for the First World War. The honour board used to hang in the former Mechanics Institute Hall, which was on the site now occupied by the Scout Hall. Some of the names listed are also included on the Mitcham and Blackburn war memorials.

Vermont is home to the Vermont Cricket club and Vermont Football club.

The suburb is bordered by Mitcham to the north, Nunawading and Forest Hill to the west, Vermont South to the south and Wantirna and Ringwood to the east.
