Gruyere is a rural locality and wine region in the Yarra Valley beyond Melbourne's eastern fringe in Victoria, Australia. It is in the Local Government Area of the Shire of Yarra Ranges.
The town is named for a variety of cheese, as the area's history is in the dairy industry.
A small town area on Killara Road contains a recreation reserve, community hall, primary school and CFA fire station. Several wineries, including Coldstream Hills Winery, Warramate Wines and Yarra Yering, are located within Gruyere.
