The Shire of Warracknabeal was a local government area about 200 km west-northwest of Bendigo and 60 km north of Horsham, in western Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1839 km2, and existed from 1891 until 1995.

History

The Warracknabeal area was initially within the St Arnaud Road District, first created in 1861, which became a Shire in 1864. On 30 January 1891, its West Riding was severed to create the Shire of Borung. Several boundary changes occurred between 1891 and 1916: On 7 September 1938, Borung was formally renamed Warracknabeal. On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Warracknabeal was abolished, and along with parts of the Shires of Dunmunkle, Karkarooc and Wimmera, was merged into the newly created Shire of Yarriambiack.
