Binnum is a settlement in South Australia.[1]

Binnum is northeast of Naracoorte, on the Mount Gambier railway line between Naracoorte and Wolseley, adjacent to the Victorian border which closed on 12 April 1995.

Victorian member of parliament Sir William McDonald grew up at Binnum, before marrying and moving a short distance across the border to Neuarpurr.[2]
