Claremont is a suburb of the City of Glenorchy, part of the greater Hobart area, Tasmania, Australia. It is named after Claremont House, which was built in the 1830s by local settler Henry Bilton, who named it after one of the royal homes of England. Claremont was the home of an Army training facility during World War I, but this was moved to Brighton some time before World War II. At that time Claremont consisted of only a few houses and farms. Between the 1960s and the 1980s, public housing was built in the suburb (as happened in the rest of the City of Glenorchy).

It is best known as the location of the Cadbury factory. Also featured is the Alpenrail a Swiss Model Village and Railway.

Claremont has a secondary college (Claremont College), a high school (Claremont High School) and three public primary schools (Roseneath Primary, Abbotsfield Primary and Claremont Primary) and one private primary school (Holy Rosary School).

Claremont has a small shopping centre named Claremont Village, and several churches. Sports teams include the Claremont Football Club, an Australian rules football team which plays in the Southern Football League, and Metro Claremont, a football (soccer) team which plays in the Southern Premier League.
