Dights Falls is located in Melbourne, Victoria.

Dights Falls occur just downstream of the junction of the Yarra River with Merri Creek. At this point the river narrows and is constricted between basalt boulders and a steep sedimentary spur.

Prior to European settlement, the area was occupied by the indigenous Wurundjeri tribe. The natural rock falls would have provided the Aboriginal people with a natural river crossing and place to trap migrating fish. It was also a meeting place for many clans where they would trade together, settle disputes and exchange brides.

In the 1840s, an artificial weir was built on the natural bar of basalt boulders to provide water to the “Ceres” flour mill , one of the first in Victoria. The falls were later to become known as Dights Falls after the owners of the mill, John and Charles Dight.

On a hill above the falls to the south, is an historic marker commemorating the "first white men to discover the river Yarra reaching Yarra Falls on 8th February, 1803. Also to make the first crossing near here with the cattle by the first overlanders John Gardner, Joseph Hawdon and John Hepburn in December 1836".
