Mandurama is a village in the Blayney Shire, New South Wales, Australia. The site of the village and surrounding areas was home to the Wiradjuri people prior to settlement, and the name "Mandurama" is derived from their word for 'water holes'.[2] Mandurama is situated 259 kilometres west of Sydney, 59 kilometres southwest of Bathurst, and 47 kilometres northeast of Cowra on the Mid-Western Highway. Established in 1876 as a privately owned village for the workers of Thomas Icely's Coombing Park, it has since developed, along with nearby Lyndhurst into a modest service centre for the surrounding localities and farmland.

The village's population is small, approximately numbering around 300, but is still home to a number of amenities, including a; general store and cafe; service station; Rural Fire Service station; primary school; number of churches; golf club; tennis court; hall, and; hotel. The village also retains a number of historic buildings, including two former bank premises, a former primary school, the Lincoln Theatre, and the Belubula Lodge.

Mandurama was also the central subject of the group of photographs known as the Mandurama Collection, now housed at the National Library of Australia.
