Wandi is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the Town of Kwinana. The suburb was approved on 14 March 1978.

The suburb is Special Rural, which prevents the loss of trees from clearing. The land of Wandi is bushland, some of it is part of the Jandakot Regional Park.

Wandi was named after a highly regarded Aboriginal stockman, who drove sheep into Cockburn Sound for anchorage butchers in the 1920s.

Wandi is also known for the amount of diverse alpacas that live there; many of which often escape. These alpacas are usually joked about among the locals as being "rogue alpacas".
