Austin is an abandoned town in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The town is located south of Cue on an island in Lake Austin.
The lake and the town are both named after surveyor Robert Austin, who was the first European to explore and chart the area. Austin initially named the lake the Great Inland Marsh but the name was later changed to Lake Austin. The townsite was gazetted in 1895. [LandInfo WA|c|A|2008-09-30]
