Waterford is a small riverside suburb of Perth, the state capital of Western Australia.

Originally part of the suburb of Karawara, the area south of Manning Road was renamed Waterford in the 1980s.

The area is named after the birthplace in Ireland of Edmund Rice, the founder of the Christian Brothers.

From 1901, the Christian Brothers were allocated land for the Clontarf Orphanage, a school and farm for orphaned and disadvantaged boys, situated on 2 square kilometres of land south of Manning Road and along the shores of the Canning River.

Trinity College holds a remaining portion of the land which has been developed into the school's playing fields for training and PSA sport fixtures.
