St Vincent's Plaza is a major interchange of the Melbourne tram network, serviced by Yarra Trams routes 11, 12, 30 and 109. It is located in the wide centre median of Victoria Parade, wedged between the intersections of Gisborne Street and Brunswick Street.

The interchange was one of Melbourne's first level access superstops to be constructed, opening on 24 July 2002 as part of the 'Tram 109' project.[1][2] It is named after the adjacent St Vincent's Hospital.[3] The previous tram stop at this location before the upgrade was known as the Brunswick Street Interchange or the City – Brunswick Street terminus for route 30, which continues to terminate at St Vincent's Plaza as of 2023[update].[4][5]
