Victoria Quay is a wharf on the south bank of the Swan River mouth in the Western Australian port city of Fremantle. It is separated from the Fremantle CBD by the railway line. Originally named South Quay, it was renamed Victoria Quay on 26 July 1901 in honour of the late Queen Victoria.[4] With North Quay it forms the Inner Harbour area of Fremantle Harbour.

Victoria Quay was added to the interim register of heritage places in 1999.

Included within its boundaries are Fremantle Passenger Terminal, Challenger Institute of Technology. Western Australia Maritime Museum and E Shed Markets. Adjacent to Victoria Quay are the historical precincts of West End and Arthur Head Reserve.[5]
