Tennyson is a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It is 7km south of the CBD on the Brisbane River.

The area was originally named Softstone by James Strong, one of the original settlers, but by 1897 the name was changed to Tennyson. Tennyson is named after the British poet Alfred Tennyson. [ [http://www.nrw.qld.gov.au/property/placenames/detail.php?id=43070 Place name details ] ]
