Moncrieff is a suburb in the Gungahlin district of Canberra, the National Capital of Australia. The name was gazetted in April 1991, with initial land releases becoming available to developers in June 2014. It is named after Gladys Moncrieff, an Australian singer of the 1920-1930s musical era who was dubbed 'Australia's Queen of Song'. The suburb is in north Gungahlin, adjacent to the suburbs of Ngunnawal, Amaroo, Taylor and Jacka.

It is home to the Moncrieff Community Recreation Park, which was voted the ACT's favourite playground in 2021.
