Bennett Springs is a northeastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located in the City of Swan. Formed from parts of the suburbs of Beechboro, Whiteman and West Swan, it was originally a subdivision from Beechboro until April 2011 when it was gazetted following a 10-year campaign by residents. The suburb was named after Matilda Bennett, the wife of John Septimus Roe.

The suburb is part of the City of Swan's Urban Growth Corridor and is bounded by Drumpellier Drive to the east, Reid Highway to the south, Tonkin Highway to the west and Marshall Road and the former boundary of West Swan to the north. Bennett Brook, also named after Matilda Bennett, runs through part of the suburb.
