Baralaba is a town in central Queensland, Australia, located 143 km by road from Rockhampton and 694 km from Brisbane. The town is located 33 km west of the Leichhardt Highway.

Baralaba is part of the Banana Shire. The local economy revolves around beef production. In previous years, two coal mines operated in the Baralaba region, and both have closed, but mining operations recommenced at one mine in 2005. The town's name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "high mountain" referring to nearby Mount Ramsay. [http://www.nrm.qld.gov.au/property/placenames/detail.php?id=1568]
