Kinlyside is a designated suburb in Gungahlin, Canberra. The land designated for the suburb has not yet been released for development by the Australian Capital Territory’s Land and Development Agency ( [http://www.lda.act.gov.au LDA] ).

According to the ACT’s Planning and Land Authority [http://203.15.126.40/cgi-bin/search.pl website] , the suburb is named after George Kendall Kinlyside. "From a well known pioneer family in the Ginninderra-Hall area; followed in his father's footsteps as wheelwright, coachbuilder and blacksmith at Hall; in 1907 he built a hall which served the Hall community for many years; active in local affairs and joint secretary of the Hall Progress Association when established in 1906."

The suburb was Gazetted in October 1991 and as yet has no residents. As of October 2007, maps have been placed around various spots in Gungahlin, and have Kinlyside marked as "subject to review"
