Altona Refinery
The Altona Refinery is an oil refinery in Altona North, Victoria, Australia operated by ExxonMobil. The refinery is located next to Kororoit Creek which is not navigable. Ships unload at a pier on Point Gellibrand in nearby Williamstown.

Its output is 14.5 million litres of refined oil products each day. Employing 350 staff (in 2019), it is the smallest refinery in Australia, but also one of the oldest.

The Altona Refinery construction commenced in 1946 and was completed in 1954. It was constructed by Braun Transworld Corporation for Standard Vacuum Oil Company.

There has been some talk of its closure since at least 2014, due to competition from other refineries in Asia. Output was limited during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to weak demand. In February 2021, ExxonMobil announced the Altona Refinery would close and be converted to a fuel import terminal.
