Medowie is a suburb located in the Port Stephens local government area within New South Wales' Hunter Region, Australia. Situated approximately 34 kilometres north of Newcastle, it lies in close proximity to RAAF Base Williamtown and serves as a residential area for many of the base's personnel.

Historically, Medowie was a modest rural town until experiencing significant property and commercial growth during the 1980s. According to the 2021 census, the population reached 10,420 residents.

The town offers educational facilities including two government primary schools - Medowie Public School and Wirreanda Public School - as well as Medowie Christian School. In 2021, Catherine McAuley Catholic College, a co-educational high school, commenced operations.

Medowie boasts a variety of recreational amenities. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy facilities for soccer, cricket, rugby union, golf, Australian Rules football, netball, tennis, and Little Athletics. Notably, the Pacific Dunes Golf Club offers a championship course ranked among Australia's top five.

The town also features attractions such as the Medowie Macadamias farm, where visitors can indulge in local produce, and the Medowie Markets, which showcase regional crafts and goods.

Surrounded by natural bushland, Medowie provides a habitat for native wildlife, including wallabies and kookaburras, contributing to its appeal as a residential area that balances growth with a connection to nature.
