Axedale is a small town in Victoria, Australia. It is located on the McIvor Highway, in the City of Greater Bendigo, east of Bendigo. It was surveyed and proclaimed in 1861. At the 2006 census, Axedale had a population of 230.^[1]

The town is nestled alongside the Campaspe River which feeds out of Lake Eppalock (about 20 minutes drive away). It has a golf course, tennis courts, a school, a pub and a convenience store/petrol station and a small community of artists. It lies between Heathcote and Bendigo.

The Post Office opened on 21 April 1862. A Post Office nearby named Axe Creek Railway Station opened on 1 March 1889 when the railway arrived (named Longlea in 1904 and closing in 1989).^[2]
