Central Darling Shire is a local government area in the Far West region of New South Wales, Australia.

Central Darling Shire was constituted in 1959 and at 53,511 square kilometres (20,661 sq mi), it is the largest incorporated local government area in New South Wales.

The Shire includes the towns of Ivanhoe, Menindee, Sunset Strip, Tilpa, Wilcannia and White Cliffs.

Following a public inquiry, councillors were removed from office and an administrator originally appointed for three months had his term extended and at September 2018 was still acting in this capacity.

The relative ease of access to water from the Darling River and Menindee Lakes Storage Scheme enables producers to grow a large variety of crops and fruits.
