Kulpara is a rural town in South Australia, situated on the Copper Coast Highway and Upper Yorke Road[4] in the Hummocks Range at the northern end of Yorke Peninsula.

The Bible Christian church foundation stone was laid in 1879 with services starting soon after.

[6] It was the seat of its municipality, the District Council of Kulpara, from 1878 to 1932.

[7] A fossil genus of stromatolite-forming cyanobacteria, Kulparia, was discovered near and named after this town.
