Gungahlin (/ˈɡʌŋɡɑːlɪn/) is a district in the Australian Capital Territory, one of the fastest growing regions in Australia.

Gungahlin is an Aboriginal word meaning either "white man's house" or "little rocky hill".

[1] Within the district is the northernmost town centre of the ACT, situated 10 kilometres (6 mi) north of Canberra City ("Civic" in the local parlance); one of five satellite cities of the ACT, with Woden, Tuggeranong, Weston Creek and Belconnen.

Much of the local produce supplied the large workforce at goldfields at Braidwood and Major's Creek in New South Wales.

[9] Gungahlin is the first district encountered when travelling to Canberra from Melbourne or Sydney via the Barton Highway.

The district is a set of contiguous residential and industrial suburbs that surround a town centre, together with undeveloped pastoral leases that border with the state of New South Wales to the north, north-east and east.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people made up 1.6 percent of the population, which was lower than the national and territory averages.

[citation needed] The ACTION bus service provides public transport throughout Canberra.

A light rail network linking the Gungahlin Town Centre to Civic opened in April 2019.

A number of projects have improved road access to the Gungahlin district, including: While the Gungahlin district is serviced by Calvary Hospital and The Canberra Hospital for emergency treatment, a number of private medical practices have established in the town centre and surrounding suburbs.
