The '''Upfield Shared Path''' is a shared use path for [[cycling|cyclists]] and [[pedestrian]]s, which follows [[Upfield railway line]] through the inner northern suburbs of [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria, Australia]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://maps.vicroads.vic.gov.au/website/bikes2b/viewer.htm |title=VicRoads - Bicycle Facilities Map |access-date=2007-03-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070219141453/http://maps.vicroads.vic.gov.au/website/bikes2b/viewer.htm |archive-date=2007-02-19 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[http://www.bigyak.net.au/trails/biketrails.html?ll=-37.752132,144.962217&z=13&t=p Melbourne and Geelong's shared paths in Google Maps]</ref><ref>[http://www.bigyak.net.au/bike/bike.html#melgel Melbourne and Geelong's shared paths in Google Earth]</ref>

It stretches from [[Princes Park, Carlton|Princes Park]], through [[Brunswick, Victoria|Brunswick]] and [[Coburg, Victoria|Coburg]], to Box Forest Road, [[Fawkner]], just south of [[Gowrie railway station]]. It was originally opened in the late 1980s.

Missing links have been progressively filled with the work between Hope Street and [[Anstey railway station]] in Brunswick completed in August 2002. A section between Reynard and O'Hea Streets in Coburg with a signalled crossing at [[State (Bell/Springvale) Highway|Bell Street]] was completed by 2006 by City of Moreland (now [[City of Merri-bek]]) Council and [[VicRoads]]. An extension to Box Forest Road was completed in September 2008.

An interactive map of the trail as well as others in the Melbourne area is available [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1McdnnNhn1TTHe38AtknMHmf1OU2GqdrF&usp=sharing here].
