Heatherton is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is in the Local Government district of the City of Kingston.

The suburb has a surprisingly low population for a metropolitan suburb. It is predominantly open space: market garden, golf courses (the Kingston Heath Golf Club and the [http://www.capitalgolfclub.com Capital Golf Club] ) and parks (Kingston Heath Reserve and Karkarook Park). As part of the Melbourne sandbelt, the area has been subject to significant sand mining in the past, though many extraction sites have now passed to other uses.

The Kingston Centre, a major regional Aged Care and Rehabilitation facility, is located in Heatherton. The site was originally the Melbourne Benevolent Asylum (where construction began in 1909). [ [http://localhistory.kingston.vic.gov.au/htm/article/302.htm The Melbourne Benevolent Asylum Comes to Cheltenham] , City of Kingston Historical Website, accessed 7 August 2007] A 2 foot (610mm) gauge tramway was constructed from the railway at Cheltenham to the building site ["The Cheltenham and Heatherton Tramway" Fairlam, W.P. Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin April, 1968 pp86-90] . A large proportion of the grounds of the Kingston Centre were sold in the 1990s to the developer Mirvac, who built the 500 homes of the Heath estate between 2000 and 2006.
