Wembley Downs is a northwestern suburb of Perth, Western Australia.

Development was slow, due partly to the thick virgin bush and limestone outcrops, which made building difficult.

In 1947 the Perth Road Board had to resume 600 blocks for unpaid rates, and these were sold at very low prices.

Hale School, a selective and private Anglican boys' school, is located in Wembley Downs along with a state primary school and "The Downs", a small shopping centre which burnt down in October 2008.

The street plan of Wembley Downs was designed in the 1960s in the "garden suburb" formation, in a circular pattern around the main intersection at Hale and Weaponess Roads.
