Nebo is a small town in Queensland, Australia, located 100 km south-west of the city of Mackay on the Peak Downs Highway. At the 2006 census, Nebo had a population of 282.[1]

Pastoralists settled in the Nebo region as early as the 1860s. The district was named by explorer William Landsborough, after the Babylonian god Nabu (Hebrew: Nebo). [1]

The local economy has traditionally relied on agriculture. Coal-mining also plays a significant role in the local economy, with eleven coal mines located in the Nebo district.
