Mandurang, derived from an Aboriginal word meaning black cicada,^[2] is a rural locality in the City of Greater Bendigo,^[3] in the Australian state of Victoria. It grew and developed as a goldfield settlement and logging locality, though today mostly consists of small farms and wineries. Mandurang Primary School was opened in 1877 and closed in 1994.

It is 10 km (6 mi) south of Bendigo and is reputed by the government mapping agency, to be the geographic centre of Victoria at 36° 51' 15"S, 144° 16' 52" E. Mandurang is adjacent to the Greater Bendigo National Park and was in the Victorian Electorate of Sandhurst, now known as Bendigo East.
