Westbourne Grammar School is an Australian independent and non-denominational Christian co-educational day school in Truganina, an outer south-western suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. Westbourne has two campuses. The larger campus, opened in 1978, is located on Sayers Road in Truganina and offers classes for students at all levels, kindergarten to the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE). A smaller campus is situated in nearby Williamstown and provides education for students up to and including Year 4. There is also a childcare centre at the Truganina campus.

The total enrolment is approximately 2200 students, with 1200 at secondary level (Years 7 to 12). Most students come from suburbs in the west of Melbourne, from Werribee and Hoppers Crossing, to Newport and Williamstown, to Sydenham and St Albans, to Footscray and Maribyrnong. The school has a specially designed facility dedicated for international students and a comprehensive English as a Second Language program. It hosts many international students each year. The school has in excess of 150 teachers, support staff and office workers. The principal of Westbourne is Adrian Camm. He has held the position since 2022 and is the fourth principal of the Truganina campus after John Pascoe, Geoffrey Ryan and Meg Hansen.

In 2017 the school celebrated its 150th anniversary. Throughout the year the school hosted many events to celebrate its sesquicentenary year, including a school fete and marking the beginning for the construction of the swimming pool. The sesquicentenary year also included rebranding of the school logo.
