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

It is 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.[4] By 2018 all four stations were running a herd of cattle of 6500 head.
