Endeavour Hills is an outer eastern suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Casey.

The land in the area had been used firstly by the Aboriginal people and later for farming by the European settlers who came after the 1830s, when it was used for cattle runs. The suburb began with the development of a small housing estate named Endeavour Hills in the mid 1970s. The original sales office was located in what is now the Joseph Banks Medical Centre. A statue of explorer James Cook stood outside; new streets were named around the explorer Cook, his ship the Endeavour, and fellow sailors and explorers.

The first school, James Cook Primary School, opened in 1979.
