Paddington is an inner suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[3] In the 2021 census, Paddington had a population of 9,063 people.[1]

Paddington is located 4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi) west of the Brisbane CBD, by car. As is common with other suburbs in the area, Paddington is located on a number of steep ridges and hills. It was settled in the 1860s. Many original and distinctive Queenslander homes can be found in the suburb. Houses are frequently built on stumps, owing to the steep nature of their blocks.

Paddington includes the neighbourhood of Rosalie, which has its centre at the junction of Baroona Road and Nash Street (27°27′58″S 152°59′49″E / 27.4661°S 152.9969°E / -27.4661; 152.9969 (Rosalie (centre of neighbourhood))) and was a separate suburb until 1975.[4]
