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

The name "Nollamara" is a Noongar word for the flowering plant Macropidia, commonly known as the black kangaroo paw.{{Cite web |url=https://www.stirling.wa.gov.au/your-city/documents-and-publications/your-city/about-stirling/mooro-people-s-knowledge-trail |title=Mooro Nyoongar Katitjin Bidi|trans-title=Mooro People’s Knowledge Trail |publisher=City of Stirling |access-date=2020-04-28}}

The suburb is less than {{cvt|10|km}} away from the Perth central business district and is approximately {{cvt|11|km}} from Trigg beach. Previously known as a lower income area, Nollamara has gone through a period of gentrification over the past decade{{timeframe|date=July 2022}} that continues on to this day. Older homes are being replaced with new townhomes and there has been a surge in young families and professionals populating the suburb. The area is characterized by extensive trees, parks and recreational facilities. The newly renovated Des Penman Reserve is a good example of this as it includes tennis, soccer, lawn-bowls, playground, shaded lunch areas and BBQ facilities. Parts of Nollamara are elevated, providing views of surrounding neighbourhoods.

Nollamara borders prominent areas such as Yokine and Dianella that are host to multimillion-dollar homes. A newly developed Flinders Street and Wanneroo Road provide easy access to Leederville, Subiaco, Northbridge and the Perth CBD.
