Lethbridge is a rural township outside Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Bluestone from Lethbridge quarries was used to build several significant buildings in Melbourne, including the steps to the Parliament House. At the 2006 census, Lethbridge had a population of 892.

It has a primary school, Uniting Church and a Catholic church, a sports facility (with two football ovals and a tennis court), a town hall, a CFA, cake shop and a general store. The railway came to the town with the opening of the Geelong-Ballarat line in 1862,cite web

] with the local railway station opened soon after, but today only grain and freight trains use the line.

Peter Lalor, the leader of the Eureka Stockade rebellion, hid overnight in Lethbridge while fleeing from Ballarat to Geelong in November 1854.
