Yornup is a small town in the South West region of Western Australia, situated between Bridgetown and Manjimup on the South Western Highway.

[2] A railway line between the Donnelly Mill and Yornup was built in 1948 and remained in use until the last steam train was retired in 1970.

[3] At one point, Yornup had a school, post office, hall and stores; only the hall remains today, used for community dances.

The school was relocated to the rear of 144 Hampton Street, Bridgetown, in March 1996 in anticipation of the construction of a heritage precinct, which never eventuated.

A large Western Power substation is located in the town, and an industrial estate is proposed for the area.
