The City of Camberwell was a local government area about 10 kilometres (6 mi) east of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia.

The city covered an area of 36.01 square kilometres (13.90 sq mi), and existed from 1914 until 1994.

Much of the shire's area was under cultivation, with a few sites for fine residences at the northern end.

Combined with an investigation which revealed serious governance breaches and other issues,[5] all councillors were sacked and replaced with a commissioner on 22 June 1993.

[6] Eventually, the decision was made to merge the entirety of Camberwell with Hawthorn and Kew to form the newly created City of Boroondara, which took effect on 22 June 1994.
