Noccundra is a township in south western Queensland, Australia. It is on the banks of the Wilson River 145 kilometres from, and 80 kilometres west of, Thargomindah and contained within the pastoral holding of Nockatunga Station. The town was established in 1882 with the construction of the Noccundra Hotel (aka the Noccundra Pub).
