Boddington is a town and shire in the Peel region of Western Australia, located 120 kilometres (75 mi) south-east of Perth.

The town owes its name to an early settler, Henry Boddington, who was a farmer and shepherd in the 1860s and 1870s and leased land in the area in 1875, later moving to Wagin.

When the Hotham Valley Railway was being constructed in 1912 to meet demand created by the local timber industry, a townsite was chosen adjacent to the town, and subsequently gazetted.

In addition, a district high school, shopping facilities, accommodation (hotel, motel, caravan park), council offices and a telecentre are located within the town.
