Revesby, a suburb of local government area City of Canterbury Bankstown, is located 22 kilometres south west of the Sydney central business district, in the state of New South Wales, Australia, and is a part of the South western Sydney region. Revesby is mostly a residential suburb, which was developed as part of Sydney's post war urban sprawl, and contains many modest freestanding bungalows built from asbestos cement sheeting (fibro). Revesby is bounded on the north by Canterbury Road and the suburbs of Bankstown and Condell Park, on the south by Revesby Heights and Picnic Point, on the Georges River, on the west by Panania, and on the east by Padstow.

Revesby was named in 1913 in honour of Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who sailed with Captain James Cook on the Endeavour, when he reached the east coast of Australia in 1770. Banks had inherited his father's estate of Revesby Abbey, in Lincolnshire, England, so he was known as the Squire of Revesby. He is also commemorated in the Sir Joseph Banks High School in Turvey Street. George Johnston, an officer of marines who had arrived on the First Fleet was granted land in this area in 1804. His wife Esther Julian, who had arrived as a convict on the same ship in 1788 was granted on 1 November 1813. That part of Julian's 570 acres south of Milperra Road between The River Road and Queen Street down to Bransgrove Road, was subdivided in 1889 into 707 lots to land, each about a quarter of an acre It was known as the Beaconsfield Estate. <Deposited Plan 2343>
