Spotswood is an inner suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 7 km (4.3 mi) south-west of Melbourne's Central Business District, located within the City of Hobsons Bay local government area.

This location was also used as the police headquarters in Mad Max and for the Academy Award-winning short film Harvie Krumpet.

Moccasins are a derogatory stereotype for the western suburbs of Melbourne; implying a lack of class, culture and sophistication even though they are commonly used elsewhere in Australia.

[citation needed] The suburb was the main location in the clay animation short-film Harvie Krumpet.

Spotswood railway station is served by train services on the Werribee and Williamstown lines.
