Stirling is a suburb of Perth, located in the Local Government Area of the City of Stirling.

Stirling is named after James Stirling, the first governor of Western Australian (1829-1838). The name was approved in April 1976 at the request of the Stirling City Council, as the area contained the Council's headquarters. The suburb was part of Balcatta until 1976.

The area's first European settlement was as an extension of the Osborne Park market area. The building of the Mitchell Freeway to Karrinyup Road in 1983-84 facilitated the growth of Stirling as a regional hub. As at 2006, some subdivisions in the Stirling region are still being developed.

Stirling is an oddly-shaped suburb carved out of western Balcatta and northern Osborne Park. It is bounded Mitchell Freeway between Erindale Road and Hutton Street on the west and south, Amelia and Poincaire Streets to the north, and an uneven line running roughly south from Jones Street's north-south section to the east. Lake estates and public parks, including the Stirling Civic Gardens, make up a moderate percentage of the suburb's area.
