'''Woolloomooloo'''  ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|w|ʊ|l|ə|m|ə|ˈ|l|uː}} {{respell|wuul|ə|mə|LOO}}) is a harbourside, inner-city [[Eastern Suburbs (Sydney)|eastern]] suburb of [[Sydney]], [[New South Wales]], Australia, 1.5 kilometres east of the [[Sydney central business district|central business district]], in the [[Local government in Australia|local government area]] of the [[City of Sydney]].

Woolloomooloo was originally a [[working-class]] district of Sydney and has only recently{{when|date=March 2024}} changed with [[gentrification]] of the inner city areas of Sydney. The redevelopment of the waterfront, particularly the construction of the housing development on the [[Finger Wharf]], has caused major change. Areas of [[Public housing in Australia|public housing]] still exist in the suburb, with 22% homes in the 2011 postcode, owned by [[Housing NSW]], in front of [[Redfern, New South Wales|Redfern]], [[Eastlakes]] and [[Glebe, New South Wales|Glebe]].
