Minara Station is a pastoral lease that has operated as a cattle station and more recently as a sheep station in Western Australia.

Situated approximately 46 kilometres (29 mi) east of Leonora and 70 kilometres (43 mi) west of Laverton in the Goldfields-Esperance region.

The station was established prior to 1920 when it was running sheep and owned by Messrs Fawcett and Robinson.[1] By 1924 the owners were Fawcett and Venn.[2]

In 1928 Minara was stocked with 12,000 sheep and the shearing shed was being constructed.[3]

The station is currently owned by Minara Resources along with three other nearby properties: Nambi, Yundamindera and Glenorn. Both Minara and Yundamindera were destocked in 2012.[4] By 2016 all four stations are now running a herd of cattle
