Yallambie is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Banyule.

Yallambie is a residential suburb stretched between Greensborough Road to the west and the Plenty River on its east. Its southern border is Lower Plenty Road and Yallambie Road in the north.

The predominant feature in Yallambie is the Simpson Army Barracks. Originally known as the Watsonia Military Camp it was set up during the Second World War.

Yallambie's residential population almost doubled when a large parcel of reserved land behind the barracks was converted to residential use following rationalisation of military facilities during the late 1980s.
