Kurunjang is a suburb on the western edge of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, immediately north of Melton. Its Local Government Area is the Shire of Melton.

It is a primarily residential suburb which contains three schools - Kurunjang Primary School (P-6), Kurunjang Secondary College (7-12) and Mowbray College, a private P-12 school - as well as creekside reserves along Little Blind Creek and Toolern Creek.

Currently many residents suffer from a lack of broadband due to the budget telecommunications infrastructure installed by the aforementioned developers, ADSL the most common broadband technology in Australia is unavailable to most houses due to RIM systems being installed to save on copper wire costs; these systems, (when not provisioned with co-located DSLAMs) do not allow a continuous copper loop to reach the DSLAM, which is located in the Melton exchange. There are currently no plans to rectify the situation.^{[citation needed]}
