Menora is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Its local government area is the City of Stirling.

In 1954, with the establishment of official suburban boundaries, the new offshoot from Mount Lawley was named "Menora" in honour of an old theatre of that name which was located within its borders. Further support for the name was provided by the local Jewish community for whom the Menorah holds special significance. From an aerial point of view, a section of the roads are shaped like the Menorah.

Menora is home to a large Jewish community (7.2%), the heart of which is the Perth Hebrew Congregation. It is close to the Carmel Jewish School and other Kosher facilities like the "Kosher Food Centre" (in Menora) and the Kosher "Besh Fresh" cafe.

The exclusive Alexander Park Tennis Club hosts, amongst other events, the Western Australian Tennis Championships. In the 2006 census, Menora had a median age of 48 (as compared with 37 for Australia, and 34.2% of its population were over 65 years of age. This is likely attributable to a high concentration of retirement villages in the district.
