Upper Caboolture is a rural locality in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia.[2] Formerly a rural area on the fringe of the town of Caboolture, since the 1990s the suburb has become increasingly urbanised.[3]

In the 2021 census, Upper Caboolture had a population of 5,087 people.[1]

In April 2023, the Queensland Government decided to reflect the growing population of the region by creating five new localities named Corymbia, Greenstone, Lilywood, Wagtail Grove, and Waraba by excising parts of the existing localities of Bellmere, Rocksberg, Upper Caboolture, and Wamuran.[4][5][6] Prior to land redistribution, parts of Lilywood and Wagtail Grove were part of Upper Caboolture.[2]
