'Melville Water' is a section of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. It is located downstream of Perth Water.
Melville Water was named in 1872 by Captain James Stirling, after 2nd Viscount Melville. The land south of Melville Water was named Melville Water Park Estate (in the area that is now Applecross) and was subdivided for development in 1896.[1][2]
