Melbourne is a city in Brevard County in the state of Florida.

Melbourne is the principal city of the Palm Bay – Melbourne – Titusville, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area and is the second largest municipal area by size and by population in the county.
Melbourne was incorporated in 1888 and named after the village's first postmaster, Cornthwaite John Hector. Hector was an Englishman who had spent much of his life in the Australian city of Melbourne.
