Yornaning is a small town located in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, on Great Southern Highway, between Pingelly and Narrogin.

In the late 1890s, a siding on the Great Southern Railway called simply "Water Tank" was established here, and the name Yornaning was finally arrived at in 1905 after several renamings.

A townsite was gazetted adjacent to the siding in 1907,[3] and maintenance workers for the railway were encouraged to move there.

[6] The railway's decline brought an end to the town's progress and all that remains today is the wheat silo, community hall and one or two buildings.

[7] In 1993, the Shire of Cuballing obtained the area on which the Yornaning Dam sits, and upgraded it for recreational use.
