The Shire of Dunmunkle was a local government area about {{convert|160|km|mi|0}} west of Bendigo and {{convert|50|km|mi|0}} east of Horsham, in western Victoria, Australia. The shire was bounded by the Yarriambiack Creek on the western boundary and the Richardson River on the east.[2] The shire covered an area of {{convert|1550|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed from 1877 until 1995.

History

Dunmunkle was first incorporated as a shire on 28 September 1877. In May 1916, the shire lost part of its North Riding to the Shire of Donald, but gained parts of the South and East Ridings of the Shire of Warracknabeal.[3]

On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Dunmunkle was abolished, and, along with parts of the Shires of Karkarooc, Warracknabeal and Wimmera, was merged into the newly created Shire of Yarriambiack. The Avon-Richardson district was transferred to the newly created Shire of Northern Grampians.[4]

The Shire of Dunmunkle was divided into three wards, each of which elected three councillors:
