Burekup is a small town located on the South Western Highway in the South West region of Western Australia.

The town is built on the Collie River and was originally a railway siding on the Pinjarra-Picton line that was established in 1910 and known at the time as Boorekup. Following a request from the Shire of Dardanup, the town was gazetted in 1973.[1]

Burekup is located on the traditional land of the Noongar people.[2][3] "Boorekup" is the Aboriginal Australian name for a wildflower that grows in the area.[1]
