The City of Geelong was a local government area about 75 kilometres (47 mi) southwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia.

The city covered an area of 13.4 square kilometres (5.2 sq mi), and existed from 1849 until 1993.

It was established under the Geelong Incorporation Act (NSW)[2] in October 1849, and proclaimed as a town on 4 June 1858.

The main section, which included Geelong City, Breakwater, East Geelong and South Geelong, was bounded by Corio Bay to the northeast, Barwon River to the southeast, Boundary Road to the east and La Trobe Terrace to the west.

An additional section further to the north, between Victoria Street, Bell Parade and Thomson Road, included the suburb of Rippleside and part of Geelong North.
