The Port Phillip Pioneers Group (PPPG) is a family history group and was formed in May 1970 as a special interest group of The Genealogical Society of Victoria (GSV). The original purpose was to bring together members of the GSV who could establish lineal descent from Pioneers who settled or were born in the Port Phillip District of the Colony of New South Wales (the present State of Victoria) prior to 1 July 1851. The Group became a separate Incorporated Association in April 1991 and membership of the GSV is no longer required. Linking with the GSV is maintained as a Member Group. They are also affiliated with the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.

The State of Victoria in Australia was known as the Port Phillip District of New South Wales prior to separation on 1 July 1851. Settlement at Melbourne, on the northern shore of Port Phillip Bay, commenced in 1835.
