Bentleigh is a suburb in Melbourne, located about 13 kilometres south-east of the central business district within the City of Glen Eira.

Bentleigh has a population of approximately 16,000 residents, with a demographic mix that includes families, professionals, students and a significant proportion of older residents. Housing ranges from detached period homes to unit blocks and modern townhouses, with ongoing medium-density redevelopment evident throughout the suburb.

Public transport is a key feature of Bentleigh, with Bentleigh railway station located on the Frankston line, providing frequent services to the CBD. Bus routes operate across the suburb, supporting connections to neighbouring areas and major activity centres.

Road access is facilitated by Centre Road, a major east–west corridor, and by nearby arterial routes, such as Nepean Highway. The Centre Road shopping strip forms a central retail hub, offering supermarkets, cafes, specialty stores and essential services.

Bentleigh includes a range of educational and community facilities, including primary and secondary schools, childcare centres and libraries.

Recreational spaces such as Allnutt Park and Victory Park provide open space, sporting facilities and playgrounds for residents. The suburb also benefits from proximity to coastal areas such as Brighton and Elwood, which are accessible by road or public transport.

Bentleigh developed significantly during the early to mid-20th century, with post-war growth shaping much of its housing stock. Current planning trends focus on urban consolidation, transport accessibility and maintaining local amenity within an established suburban environment.
