Woodbridge is a suburb located in Perth, Western Australia. It is part of the City of Swan local government area.

Woodbridge used to be part of an area called Midland. It was even unofficially known as West Midland for a while. The name 'Woodbridge' became official on March 1, 2001. This name comes from an old land grant given in 1829 to Governor James Stirling. He named his land after his wife's family home near Guildford in England.

On October 4, 2004, Transperth, the public transport system, changed the name of the 'West Midland' train station to Woodbridge Station. This station is part of the Midland railway line. This train line helps people travel quickly around the eastern parts of the city.
