Hamilton is an inner northern suburb of Brisbane, Australia, lying on the north bank of the Brisbane River along Bulimba Reach. The ABS census in 2001 noted that Hamilton was one of the highest-income suburbs in Brisbane, with over half of the suburb's workforce being managers or professionals.

Major roads in the suburb are Kingsford-Smith Drive and Racecourse Road.

During World War II an interesting accident occurred involving a Corsair fighter plane. It had been unloaded from a ship in the river, had its wings folded up and was being towed along along Kingsford-Smith Drive by a truck when it snagged the tramway overhead and brought them down.
