Learmonth is a town, located in Central Victoria, Australia, 136 kilometres (85 mi) west of the state capital Melbourne, and 23 kilometres north west of the regional city centre of Ballarat.

Picnic areas, children's playgrounds and nature walks exist on the eastern and northern side of the lake.

Gently rolling ancient volcanic hills surround the town, and the soil is rich and red; good for growing plants and trees.

Learmonth today has a post office, pub, cafe, antique store, three churches, shire hall, historic society, police station, art hall, community garden, lawn bowling club, aged care facility and a friendly and active community life.

There is a free community newsletter named 'The Learmonth Thunderer', run by volunteers.
