Yeelanna (an Aboriginal word meaning "Local Spring") is a town on the Lower Eyre Peninsula in South Australia located 77 kilometres (48 mi) north of Port Lincoln.

Yeelanna had a policeman in the early days who lived in a tent, and there were two brick cells there for the wrong-doers.

A large dam was dug in 1909 and supplied the township in the early days, and later was connected to the Yeelanna oval to water it for football and cricket.

The part of the recreation ground where the new oval was, has been sold and a new house and shed built on it where a spraying and windrowing business is run from,[citation needed] but the part of the recreation ground where the toilets, tennis and netball courts are remain in public ownership.

The town has a Hall with public toilets, a post office in one of the front rooms of the Yeelanna Hall, grain silos that were built in the 1960s and a railway line that has been there since around 1908 and transported grain to Port Lincoln for export until 2018 when all grain transportation on Eyre Peninsula went by Road Train, fourteen houses, a Uniting Church, a CFS brigade, an Agriculture Bureau that has existed since 1908 that is the Yeelanna/Karkoo Ag Bureau that has their meetings at the Kooplex at Karkoo, a Country Woman's Association, a museum called Bellewood Museum, and a historic cemetery.

The church is located in Bell Terrace, opposite the museum and welcomes people from many different Christian backgrounds.
