Belconnen is a district of Canberra, the capital city of Australia, comprising 25 suburbs with 29,900 dwellings housing 82,247 people of the 311,518 people in the Australian Capital Territory (June 2001 Census).

Belconnen is situated to the north-west of Canberra's city centre, and surrounds an artificially created, ornamental lake, Lake Ginninderra. Lake Ginninderra was made possible by building a dam at an elbow of Ginninderra Creek. Exiting the lake, via a simple overflow, Ginninderra Creek continues, and runs north-west to confluence with the Molonglo River close to the north-western ACT border. The Molongolo River subsequently flows into the Murrumbidgee River as the combined water passages leave the ACT. Lake Ginninderra provides a central and well used visual and social amenity for the surrounding urban area.

Belconnen consists of 25 suburbs, the majority of which are predominantly characterised by detached single family homes on suburban blocks. Many suburbs now also have pockets of medium density units or town houses, such as Hawker and Holt, Kaleen, Melba, Cook, Macquarie, Scullin and Page. In the suburbs of Bruce, Emu Ridge and within the Belconnen Town Centre, the bulk of housing is medium density. Residential development is still taking place in the central suburb of Bruce and the outer suburb of Dunlop in 2012. A new suburb named Lawson is proposed for development shortly, with infrastructure works already underway.
