Bolgart is a townsite north of Toodyay in Western Australia. It is in the Shire of Victoria Plains.

The town derives its name from a nearby spring. The spring was discovered and the name recorded by explorer George Fletcher Moore in 1836. The area was settled in the 1840s and one of the first settlers, J Scully, named his property Bolgart. The townsite was gazetted in 1909.[2]

The name of the town is Aboriginal in origin and means place of water.

The town was struck by a magnitude 5.2 earthquake on 11 March 1952 followed by several aftershocks. The earthquake was felt as far away as Perth where taller buildings were rocked.[3]

The reserves Drummond Nature Reserve and Bewmalling Nature Reserve are west and south west of this locality.

The main industry in town is wheat farming with the town being a Cooperative Bulk Handling receival site.[4]
