Wundowie is a town in Western Australia located between Perth and Northam in the Darling Range.

It was the location of an iron works, and siding and stopping place on the Eastern Railway.

The origin of the name is from nearby Woondowing Spring which is an Aboriginal word thought to come from Ngwundow, meaning "to lie down".

Following the decision of the government to construct the blast furnace and wood distillation plant (to produce charcoal) in 1943 at Wundowie, plans were made to develop the townsite.

This is reflected in its street pattern, subdivision layout, location of land uses, open space and the civic core of the town.
