Ensay is a town located between Swifts Creek and Bruthen on the Great Alpine Road in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.

The town centre is located north of the confluence of the Little and Tambo river; with an altitude of approximately 400 metres (1,312 ft) AMSL.

[2] The land around Ensay was originally taken up in 1839 by the noted explorer of the district Angus McMillan on behalf of his then employer Lachlan Macalister.

In the past Ensay supported a primary school, a number of sporting teams and other facilities, including two significant pubs, two churches, a community hall, a Scout group and a cemetery.

After the post office moved to the general store, a small bookshop ran for several years from this attachment, later relocating to the former Primary School building, and then to Swifts Creek, before closing down in 2014.

When the general store in Ensay closed about 2012, the post office relocated to again operate from the Little River Inn.

Ensay is the nearest town to the folk art sculpture Mr. Stringy, which is located about 12 km (7.5 mi) south alongside the Great Alpine Road.

Late in their time Ensay changed their jumper to the early design of the West Coast Eagles AFL club.

The clubs played their last matches in 1995 when they struggled to field teams at the start of the season, finally folding after a few rounds.

The tennis club maintained a strong presence for several years after the football and netball teams folded, but itself briefly ceased playing for the 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 seasons.

A New Year's Day Sports' Carnival is also held annually in Ensay, chiefly consisting of a number of equestrian and novelty events.
