Crookwell is a small town located in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, in the Upper Lachlan Shire.

The nearest major centre is the city of Goulburn which is about a half-hour drive to the south-east of the town.

Crookwell is also home to what was NSW's first wind farm, which consists of 8 turbines, and is located a few kilometres out of town on the road towards Goulburn.

[8] From 1941 to 1945, 508,500 tons of iron ore was mined—about six miles by road from the town—and railed to Port Kembla for wartime steel production.

[3] Crookwell is the seat of the Upper Lachlan Shire Council local government area (LGA) of New South Wales, Australia, formed in 2004.

[17] Owing to its exposed western location on the upwind side of the Great Dividing Range and somewhat southern latitude, snow is not uncommon during the winter months, with occasional heavy falls.

Winters are cold and wet; when the prevailing westerly cloud is persistent, daily maximum temperatures can struggle to exceed 3 °C (37 °F).
