MOURAMBINE also spelt Mourambine, is a small town located between Brookton and Pingelly in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

The area was first settled as a small agricultural community in the 1870s with an Anglican church, Saint Patricks, being built in 1873 at the expense of the local parishioners who raised the ?77 required.

The town was gazetted in 1884 which was prior to the planning and construction of the Great Southern Railway between Albany and Beverley. Unfortunately the railway passed 7km (4 mi) to the west of the town where the town of Pingelly now stands.

This, in turn, lead to the town becoming no longer needed and the population declined.

The name Moorumbine is Aboriginal in origin but it's meaning is unknown
