Homestead is a rural town and locality in the Charters Towers Region, Queensland, Australia.

[2][3] In the 2021 census, the locality of Homestead had a population of 38 people.

The Great Northern railway line follows a similar route parallel and immediately south of the highway with the Homestead railway station servicing the town.

[4][5] In 1883, gold was discovered to the north of the town but it was not regarded as an important discovery and it was mined sporadically over the next 50 years.

It takes its name from the Homestead Station pastoral run owned by pastoralist W.D.
