Lower Plenty is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Banyule. Its boundaries are as follows: the Plenty River forms its eastern boundary until it flows into the Yarra River, which winds along to form the southern and eastern boundaries of Lower Plenty. Fitzsimons Lane, stretching northwards from the Yarra, completes its eastern edge, while Main Road (a continuation of Lower Plenty Road from the west) marks the northern end of the suburb.

Lower Plenty has a low density of urban dwellings compared to nearby suburbs, and is dominated by large homesteads that are built away from the main roads. These houses sharply contrast with the relatively undeveloped roads (some unsealed) and infrastructure of the area.

The major features of Lower Plenty are the Heidelberg Golf Club, the Lower Plenty Hotel, the distinctive radio masts that rise above Bonds Road, and the Christian Brothers "Amberley" Retreat Centre on Amberley Way, home of the Edmund Rice Camps.
