'''Munglinup''' is a small town located in the [[Shire of Ravensthorpe]] in the [[Goldfields–Esperance]] region of [[Western Australia]].

The town lies on the [[South Coast Highway]] between [[Ravensthorpe, Western Australia|Ravensthorpe]] and [[Esperance, Western Australia|Esperance]] and close to the [[Munglinup River]]. The river for most of its course defines the boundary of the Esperance and Ravensthorpe shires. At the [[Oldfield Estuary]], the boundary goes to the eastern shore.

The word Munglinup is [[Noongar]] in origin and means ''where young people met their in-laws.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2015/04/01/4209443.htm|title=Discovering the land and its people through Noongar placenames|author=Karla Arnall|date=2 May 2016|access-date=8 February 2018|publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]}}</ref> The name first appears on maps made by the Dempster brothers, early settlers of the area in 1868.<ref name="gaz" />

The region was first opened up for farming in the late 1950s. By the early 1960s, the community asked for a townsite between [[Esperance, Western Australia|Esperance]] and [[Ravensthorpe, Western Australia|Ravensthorpe]] to be considered. The townsite was surveyed in 1961 and [[gazette#Gazette as a verb|gazetted]] in 1962.<ref>{{LandInfo WA|c|M|10 October 2008}}</ref><ref name="gaz">{{Gazette WA|title=New Townsite – Munglinup|date=18 May 1962|page=1962:1280|file=1960/60}}</ref>

The surrounding areas produce [[wheat]] and other [[cereal]] crops. The town is a [[CBH grain receival points|receival site]] for [[Cooperative Bulk Handling]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbh.com.au/media/120302/cbh%20receival%20sites%20-%20contact%20details.pdf|title=CBH receival sites|year=2011|access-date=1 April 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318082458/https://www.cbh.com.au/media/120302/cbh%20receival%20sites%20-%20contact%20details.pdf|archive-date=18 March 2012}}</ref>
