Beaufort is a former rural locality in the Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] On 22 November 2019, the Queensland Government decided to amalgamate the localities in the Barcaldine Region, resulting in five expanded localities based on the larger towns: Alpha, Aramac, Barcaldine, Jericho and Muttaburra.

[3][4][5] The southern boundary of the locality is the Central Western railway line and, to its immediate south, the Capricorn Highway.

[7][8] The Belyando River flows through the locality from the south-east (Port Wine) to the north-west (Surbiton/Quetta).

[10] In 1863 Arthur Hunter Palmer (Premier of Queensland from 1870 to 1874) leased nine pastoral runs in the Belyando Valley which he collectively called Beaufort Station.
