The Shire of Aramac was a local government area located in central Queensland about 1,100 kilometres (684 mi) north west of the state capital, Brisbane, between the towns of Barcaldine and Winton.

It covered an area of 23,364.1 square kilometres (9,020.9 sq mi), and existed as a local government entity from 1879 until 2008, when it amalgamated with the Shires of Barcaldine and Jericho to form the Barcaldine Region.

[3] On 27 December 1902, part of the Aramac Division was excised to create the Ilfracombe Division under the Divisional Boards Act 1887.

[5] On 15 March 2008, under the Local Government (Reform Implementation) Act 2007 passed by the Parliament of Queensland on 10 August 2007, the Shire of Aramac merged with the Shires of Barcaldine and Jericho to form the Barcaldine Region.

[5][6] The Shire operated the Aramac Tramway from Aramac to its junction near Barcaldine with the Central Western railway line from Rockhampton to Longreach from 1911 to 1975.
