Kensington is an inner southern suburb of Perth. While mostly within the City of South Perth local government area, a small section is within the Town of Victoria Park.

Kensington was named after the former Kensington Park Racecourse, which was most likely named after the London suburb. The suburb is bounded by Canning Highway to the west, Berwick Street to the north, Kent Street to the east and Hayman Road and South Terrace to the south.

Senior and Tertiary Education

Kensington contains one High School, Kent Street Senior High School. It borders Perth's "Technology Park" and is in close proximity to Curtin University, named after a former Australian Prime Minister, John Curtin.
