Karlkurla is a locality in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. It is a suburb of Kalgoorlie–Boulder. At the 2016 census, Karlkurla had a population of 177 people, up from 42 in 2011. The names of Karlkurla and Kalgoorlie are derived from the same root, the local Aboriginal word for the silky pear.[1]

Karlkurla takes in Kalgoorlie's north-western outskirts. It has only a small residential section, with a few dozen dwellings located close to the eastern boundary with Hannans. The Kalgoorlie Golf Course is located to the west of the residential section, and there is also a small industrial area in the south. Almost all of the rest of the locality is uncleared bushland.[2] Despite its name, the Karlkurla Bushland Park (a local tourist attraction) is located within the suburb of Hannans, not in Karlkurla proper.[1]
