Cervantes is a town in Western Australia located about 198 kilometres (123 mi) north-north-west of the state capital, Perth, in the Shire of Dandaragan local government area.

The ship, in turn, was named after Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote.

The Pinnacles are nearby in Nambung National Park which supports a small tourism industry.

An arts festival is held every year in the town, usually on the last weekend of October.
