Kyneton (pronounced[help] /ˈkɑentən/) is a town on the Calder Highway in the Macedon Ranges of Victoria, Australia. The town has three main streets; Mollison Street, Piper Street and High Street. Piper Street is Kyneton's oldest street which still has many of its original buildings. The railway station is a terminus for some peak hour trains. Its local government area is the Macedon Ranges Shire. At the 2006 census, Kyneton had a population of 5905.

Kyneton is home to mineral springs, the Campaspe River, botanical gardens and historic houses, many with bluestone architecture. Kyneton hosts several events during the year including the Kyneton Jazz Festival, Kyneton Daffodil Festival, Kyneton Agricultural show and the Kyneton Cup. The Kyneton Cup is on the day after Melbourne Cup day. The Kyneton Courthouse tried Ned Kelly in 1870 for robbery under arms. This courthouse has since continued to function although only as a magistrates court on Mondays.
