Devon Meadows is a rural locality about 55 km southeast of Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria, Australia, along the South Gippsland Highway which it shares with neighbouring Clyde. Its Local Government Area is the City of Casey, and a number of plant nurseries and small farms are located on either side of the highway.

Devon Meadows contains a primary school with a current enrolment of about 300[2], a CFA fire station, community hall and tennis club.

Just east of the main township is a split intersection called Five Ways, where three roads leave the South Gippsland Highway bound for Berwick, Koo Wee Rup and Cannons Creek. A general store at the intersection provides services to travellers.[3]

[edit] Transport

The 795 and 796 bus routes operated by Cranbourne Transit service the locality.[4]
