Boolading is a location along the Coalfields Highway between Darkan and Collie in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia.

The townsite was gazetted in 1909 and the name was suggested by the district surveyor after a property owned by an acquaintance of his, William Gibbs.

Located along the Collie River, the area is now good pastureland and suitable for a variety of agricultural practices.

A water-hole known as Boolading is also near the location; this was the site chosen by the first settlers in the area, William and Sarah-Ann Gibbs, who settled in 1874 and built a split slab home, which was replaced in 1899 by a mud brick home that still stands today.

Gibbs later became a property guide and helped survey the Collie – Narrogin railway line.
