Hoskinstown is a locality in Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, New South Wales, Australia.

Possibly due to confusion with the newer Blue Mountains township of Blackheath, the name of the newly-opened post office at 'Blackheath' was, only months later in 1870, changed to 'Hoskin's Town'.

It had a public school from 1869 to 1967,[19] aside from a mysterious event, in 1934, when the building was partially dismantled, without notice or explanation, but then restored.

[25][26] During the 1930s, a house that contained the post office and store also seems to have operated, at times, as a 'sly grog' outlet.

During the years when there was widespread sectarianism in Australia, Hoskinstown was a notable exception, with the two churches holding combined social and sporting events, with the funds raised being shared.
