Mount Alexander Road is a major road in Melbourne's inner northern suburbs.

It commences at the junction of Flemington Road and CityLink in the suburb of North Melbourne, proceeds North through Flemington forming the boundary between Flemington and Travancore, then forming the boundary between Travancore and Ascot Vale, then through Moonee Ponds and the Moonee Ponds Junction, continuing on North of the junction as a much wider roadway with a plantation separating northbound and southbound traffic.

The road then continues on through Moonee Ponds, then Essendon, before terminating at the intersection of Bulla Road, Keilor Road and Lincoln Road.

Mount Alexander Road was named as its original destination was the Gold Fields of Mount Alexander, now known as Castlemaine.
