HMAS Moreton was a naval base located at New Farm, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

The naval base was originally HMAS Brisbane and was renamed HMAS Moreton in 1942.

HMAS Moreton was located at the corner of Merthyr Road and Gray Street, in New Farm, Brisbane and had its own wharves, warehouse buildings and assembly areas.

The base was decommissioned in 1994 when they moved the base to Bulimba, Queensland.

The site of the former base has been transformed into residential apartments.
