Jalbarragup is a rural locality of the Shire of Nannup in the South West region of Western Australia. The Brockman Highway and the Blackwood River run through the locality from north-east to south-west. The eastern-most section of the Wiltshire-Butler National Park stretches into the west of Jalbarragup, as does a small northern section of the Milyeannup National Park at the southern boundary of the locality. Much of the remainder is covered by state forest.[1] [2]

Jalbarragup and the Shire of Nannup are located on the traditional land of the Bibulman and Wardandi people of the Noongar nation.[3] [4] [5]

The site of the state heritage listed Jalbarragup Bridge lies within the locality. The wooden bridge was constructed in 1900 and in use until 1988, and was the last of its kind in use on the Blackwood River. The bridge has now been replaced by a modern construction at the same site.[6]
