Eglinton is a locality in the Western Australian capital city of Perth, approximately 44 kilometres (27 mi) north of Perth's central business district on the Indian Ocean. For the most part, the suburb is covered in native banksia woodland, scrubland, and heath typical of the Swan Coastal Plain. However, in recent years, there has been growth in residential estates, with a town centre to be built in the near future.
Part of the City of Wanneroo local government area, it is bounded to the north by Yanchep, to the east by Carabooda, and to the south by Alkimos.
The area is part of the Alkimos-Eglinton region being developed by the State Government as future satellite city. Eglinton is now being developed with the Amberton estate from Stockland and Allara Estate from Satterly, which is one of only two estates in Western Australia to achieve a six star energy rating.
