The Hoddle Grid is the layout of the streets of the central business district of Melbourne, Australia.

Named after its designer, Robert Hoddle, the Grid was laid out in 1837. It is one mile long by half a mile wide, and orientated with its long axis rotated slightly anticlockwise of the east-west plane, to better align with the course of the Yarra River. However, most Melburnians consider the Grid's streets to be aligned either east-west or north-south.
