Niangala is a village located on the south-eastern edge of the Northern Tablelands area of New South Wales, Australia.

Access to the community requires travel along some stretches of dirt road, which can be hazardous in wet or snow conditions.

The Australian Agricultural Company set up stations and resting places for their travelling sheep along this route to be known as the ‘Peel Line’.

Not many land selections were made in the area before 1900, as the Niangala Gold Field had been removed from the Conditional Purchase Act, but was available for annual lease.

On 13 October 2002 an F2 tornado struck the Niangala region causing serious building, tree and livestock damage.

Casey Stoner the 2007 MotoGP World Champion and also 2008 Young Australian of the Year was raised in the Niangala area.
