Chinocup is a small town in the locality of Pingrup, Shire of Kent, Great Southern region of Western Australia.

Land was soon in demand in the area around the station, and blocks were surveyed and released in 1923.

The townsite was gazetted as Chinokup later the same year; the spelling was changed to its present form in 1962.

[2] A freak storm hit the area in January 1951, stripping leaves from trees and any hay left standing.

Large hailstones caused some damage to properties and heavy rain filled dams and washed out fences.
