The Shire of Balingup was a local government area in Western Australia. It was based in the town of Balingup.[1] It was established as the Upper Capel Road District on 9 June 1899. It was renamed the Balingup Road District on 12 May 1905.[2]
It was declared a shire and named the Shire of Balingup with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]
It amalgamated with the Shire of Donnybrook on 26 March 1970 to form the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup, though for the first three months the amalgamated shire was also known as the "Shire of Donnybrook".[2]
