Yamanto is a suburb of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.

The origin of the suburb is from a former cotton plantation which was originally spelt as Yamahanto. Previous names used for this area were Loamside and Mine Accident. The names were given to the railway station in the Yamanto area on the now defunct Fassifern railway line. [ [http://www.nrw.qld.gov.au/property/placenames/detail.php?id=41937 Place name details ] ]
