The Shire of Korong was a local government area about 75 kilometres (47 mi) west-northwest of Bendigo, in western Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 238.5 square kilometres (92.1 sq mi), and existed from 1862 until 1995.
Korong Shire was first incorporated as the Kingower and Wedderburne road district on 8 July 1862, and was renamed Korong at the time of its redesignation as a shire on 6 September 1864. On 1 February 1961, it annexed the Borough of Inglewood, which had been created a century earlier.[2]
