Kingston is a town on the outskirts of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Nestled 12 km south of the city between and around several hills, Kingston is the seat of the Kingborough Council, and today serves as the gateway between Hobart and the D'Entrecasteaux Channel region, which meets the Derwent River nearby. It is one of the fastest-growing regions in Tasmania.[3] The Kingston-Huntingfield statistical area had an estimated population of 13,473 in June 2021.[4]

Although the Kingston-Blackmans Bay region is statistically classed as a separate urban area to Hobart by the ABS,[5] Kingston is also part of the Greater Hobart statistical area.[6]
