Noongar is a small town located around half way between Merredin and Southern Cross along the Great Eastern Highway in Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

Originating as a railway siding in 1899 along the Merredin to Yilgarn line the area was largely developed for agricultural purposes in 1924 and the need for a townsite became apparent. Lots were surveyed early in 1925 the townsite was gazetted later the same year.[1]

The name of the town is Aboriginal in origin and means big tree near small waterhole.
