Auburn is an unbounded neighbourhood of the suburb of Hawthorn, Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria.

The area is renowned for its commercial Victorian architecture, including the "Auburn Hotel" (formerly the "Geebung Polo Club"), a giant 3-storey coffee palace in the Second Empire style built in 1888, part of a well-preserved streetscape on Auburn Road. Auburn Post Office opened on 10 April 1893. [1]
