Raukkan is an Australian Aboriginal community situated on the south-eastern shore of Lake Alexandrina in the locality of Narrung, 80 kilometres (50 mi) southeast of the centre of South Australia's capital, Adelaide.

[5] In 1859[6] the Aborigines' Friends' Association was granted 107 hectares (260 acres) in the area and established a mission at Raukkan,[7] which had been named "Point McLeay" by T. B. Strangways in 1837.

F. W. Cox helped build the school, church and mission station to care for the local Aboriginal people, and spent the next twenty years in that service.

[9] It was intended by the Aborigines' Friends' Association to help the Ngarrindjeri people, but could never be self-sufficient farming due to the poor quality of the soil in the area.

[12] 16 men from Point McLeay volunteered and four never returned — Alban Varcoe, Millar Mack, and brothers Cyril and Rufus Rigney, who were grandsons of the Rev.

[20] The Mission was mentioned in the Bringing Them Home Report (1997) as an institution housing Indigenous children forcibly removed from their families,[6] creating part of the Stolen Generations.

[21] and co-authored writings on the Ngarrindjeri language[22] and David was a writer and inventor, who along with the Raukkan Church, is featured on the Australian fifty-dollar note.

Roland Carter (1892–1960) was a labourer born in Raukkan and was the first Ngarrindjeri man from the Point McLeay Mission Station to enlist in the First Australian Imperial Force.
