Murdong is a rural locality of the Shire of Katanning in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The Great Southern Highway and the Great Southern Railway run through the locality from north to south.[1] [2]

The larger eastern part of the Shire of Katanning, up to Katanning itself, is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people.[3] [4] The smaller western part, west of Katanning, is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang people, with both being of the Noongar nation. Murdong spans both areas.[5] [6] [7]

Murdong was a siding on the Great Southern Railway, operational from 1904 to 2000.[8] [9]
