Hocking is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Wanneroo. Until 1994 it was part of the suburb of Wanneroo.

He was also treasurer of the Agricultural Society in 1909.
The suburb is home to many new houses on Hinckley Parkway in the east of the suburb, much vacant land under development, as well as remnant market gardens. The primary new housing estate is Belvedere Hills.
