Hawthorne is an inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It is 4 km east of the Brisbane central business district.

Hawthorne started as a farming district in the 1860s, and was gradually subdivided as Brisbane grew. This was helped by the introduction of ferry and tram services.

The suburb's name is from Hawthorne Bushes that were planted in on Galloways hill by the original settler William Baynes.
