North Shore is an industrial and residential suburb of Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The suburb overlooks Corio Bay. A small residential area is east of the North Shore railway station with a few neighbourhood shops.

The suburb is notable for being at the centre of Geelong's heavy industry, with the wood chip pile, Ford Motor Company factories and Shell Oil refinery all on the borders.

In order to reduce traffic through the main residential area the Geelong Bypass is being constructed (December 2005).
