The Shire of Kolan was a local government area located in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland, Australia, to the west of Bundaberg.

The Shire, administered from the town of Gin Gin, covered an area of 2,650.6 square kilometres (1,023.4 sq mi), and existed as a local government entity from 1879 until 2008, when it was amalgamated with the City of Bundaberg and the Shires of Burnett and Isis to form the Bundaberg Region.

The major industries in the area include cattle and sugar cane.

[2] On 28 January 1886, the region north of the Burnett River was excised from Kolan Division to create a separate Gooburrum Division.

[citation needed] On 15 March 2008, under the Local Government (Reform Implementation) Act 2007 passed by the Parliament of Queensland on 10 August 2007, the Shire of Kolan merged with the Shires of Burnett and Isis and the City of Bundaberg to form the Bundaberg Region.
