The University of Melbourne Herbarium is a teaching and research herbarium within the School of Biosciences, University of Melbourne in Parkville, Victoria, Australia.

[3][4] Although it is generally acknowledged that there was a small preserved plant collection already on campus, the University's herbarium was officially established in 1926.

[2][5] Reverend Montague Rupp offered the non-orchid portion of his personal herbarium, of approximately 5,000 specimens, to his alma mater Trinity College.

[6] The specimens were ultimately sent to the botany department, and wooden cupboards were custom-built to house the new, and significant collection.

[7] In 1974, the herbarium was listed in the Index Herbariorum, and in 2014 it became a data provider with the Atlas of Living Australia.
