Munglinup is a small town located in the Shire of Ravensthorpe in the Goldfields–Esperance region of Western Australia.

The town lies on the South Coast Highway between Ravensthorpe and Esperance and close to the Munglinup River.

The word Munglinup is Noongar in origin and means where young people met their in-laws.

[2] The name first appears on maps made by the Dempster brothers, early settlers of the area in 1868.

By the early 1960s, the community asked for a townsite between Esperance and Ravensthorpe to be considered.
