Queen Victoria Market, based in Melbourne, has operated as a traditional marketplace since 1878. As the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere, it brings together more than 500 small businesses, including fresh food traders and general merchandise operators, plus seasonal night markets and specialty stalls. The market is managed by Queen Victoria Market Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the City of Melbourne, responsible for day-to-day operations. Heritage recognition comes from Heritage Victoria, and the market is listed on the National heritage list. The group's stated aim is to create a thriving, diverse marketplace that supports small businesses and delivers social, economic, and environmental benefits for stakeholders. A five-year renewal and restoration program, the Queen Victoria Market Precinct Renewal, began in 2017 with a $250 million investment—the largest in City of Melbourne history—and has included developments such as a Food Truck Precinct launched in 2024.
