Fitzroy North is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is mostly in the Local Government Area of the City of Yarra, with a few streets in the Local Government Area of the City of Moreland. Housing stock includes many fine one and two storey terraces, many dating to the late Victorian period and including characteristic ironwork, verandahs, and stone embellishments. This is one of Melbourne's finest, and most expensive, inner-city locations. There is a large park called Edinburgh Gardens with a famous football oval, bordered by Freeman Street, Brunswick Street, St. Georges Road and Alfred Crescent. The Brunswick Street Oval was the home ground until 1967 of the Fitzroy Football Club playing in the Victorian Football League. A linear park, incorporating a section of the Capital City Trail bike path, runs along much of the northern edge of the suburb, on the easement for the Inner Circle railway line, which closed in 1948.
