Homebush West or Flemington is a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Homebush West is located 13 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Strathfield, with a small unpopulated area in Cumberland Council. The suburb is commonly referred to as Flemington, even in official contexts. This was the old official name of the suburb before the establishment of Sydney Markets in 1975. Subsequently, "Flemington" would become a district confined to the area occupied by the markets, whereas the suburb proper was renamed "Homebush West", after the suburb of Homebush to the east. Both the railway station and various organisations and businesses in the suburb still carry the name "Flemington", as do most residents still refer to the suburb by this name.
