Mertondale is an abandoned town located between Leonora and Laverton in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.

A prospector named Fred Merton discovered gold in the area in 1898 and the claim turned out to be an exceedingly rich find.

The mining warden suggested that a townsite should be declared in 1899, and it was gazetted later the same year.

The gold petered out by 1910 and the town was deserted shortly afterward.
