'''Albanvale''' is a suburb in [Melbourne](/source/Melbourne), Victoria, Australia, {{convert|18|km|abbr=on}} north-west of Melbourne's [central business district](/source/Melbourne_central_business_district), located within the [City of Brimbank](/source/City_of_Brimbank) [local government area](/source/Local_government_areas_of_Victoria). Albanvale recorded a population of 5,641 at the {{CensusAU|2021}}.<ref name=abs/>

The border of Albanvale consists of Station Road, Main Road West, [Kororoit Creek](/source/Kororoit_Creek), Fairfax Circuit, Concord Circuit and [Brimbank Central Shopping Centre](/source/Brimbank_Central_Shopping_Centre). The 2009 edition of the [Melway Street Directory](/source/Melway) clearly marks the shopping centre in Deer Park. The suburb was established in the 1970s.

==Flora and fauna==

The [Kororoit Creek](/source/Kororoit_Creek) forms the 700m western border of the suburb. This area once had large healthy populations of native reptiles, including [tiger snake](/source/tiger_snake), [eastern blue-tongued lizard](/source/eastern_blue-tongued_lizard), [common snakeneck turtle](/source/common_snakeneck_turtle) and [eastern brown snake](/source/eastern_brown_snake). Due to development these species are now rarely seen in the area.

Due to the recent development of the [Cairnlea](/source/Cairnlea) and [Burnside](/source/Burnside%2C_Victoria) estates, on the southern and eastern borders of Albanvale, native species of frogs have taken advantage and have taken up residence in the new wetlands and lakes. The [common eastern froglet](/source/common_eastern_froglet) and the now endangered [Growling grass frog](/source/Growling_grass_frog) have been seen and heard in the new wetlands and around [Kororoit Creek](/source/Kororoit_Creek).

==Sports facilities==

[Albanvale Football Club](/source/Albanvale_Football_Club) is an [Australian Rules](/source/Australian_Rules) football team competing in the [Western Region Football League](/source/Western_Region_Football_League).<ref name = "footy">{{Citation | last = Full Points Footy | title = Albanvale | url = http://www.fullpointsfooty.net/albanvale.htm | accessdate = 15 April 2009 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100612201225/http://fullpointsfooty.net/albanvale.htm | archive-date = 12 June 2010 | url-status = usurped }}</ref>
