Lancelin is a small fishing and tourist town 127 km north of Perth, Western Australia.

It is within the Shire of Gingin at the end of Lancelin Road, and a few kilometres away from the scenic highway Indian Ocean Drive (State Route 60).

Lancelin Island Nature Reserve (500 metres offshore) is managed for the conservation of flora and fauna.

The island is an important sanctuary for a variety of breeding seabirds, for several resident landbirds and lizards and for resting sea lions.
