Wharminda is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the Eyre Peninsula about 242 kilometres (150 miles) west of the state capital of Adelaide.

[3] Its boundaries were created in 1998 in respect to "the long established name" which is reported as being derived from the "native name of a spring and range of hills in the area", with the spring being known as "The Wharminda Soak", and the literal translation of the word "Wharminda" being "weak water".

[10] It also formerly had a siding on the Eyre Peninsula Railway, which still runs through Wharminda.

[1] The principal land use within the locality is 'primary production' which mainly concerned with "grazing and cropping."

[11][1] Wharinda is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Flinders and the local government area of the District Council of Cleve.
