Maroonah Station, often referred to as Maroonah, is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station.
It is located about 190 kilometres (118 mi) east of Coral Bay and 210 kilometres (130 mi) south of Onslow in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Maroonah occupies an area of 1,972 square kilometres (761 sq mi) and shares boundaries with Towera, Lyndon, Mangaroon, Ullawarra, Edmund and Glenflorrie Stations as well as the Barlee Range Wildlife Sanctuary. The traditional owners of the area are the Tharrkari people who currently lease and manage neighbouring Ullawarra station.
Maroonah was established in 1893 by J. H. Mansfield and began trading in wool the same year. Mansfield had previously managed Karratha and Middalya Stations before acquiring Maroonah. Following the death of Mansfield in 1907 the property was being run his wife, Annie Mansfield, and the manager of the property John Griffin.
The station was flooded in 1909 following severe weather that washed away miles of fencing. Later the same year shearing produced a clip of over 150 bales of wool from the flock of 10,000 sheep. Mrs. Mansfield died in 1911 and the partnership of Mansfield and Griffin was dissolved in 1912, with Maroonah being put up for auction later the same year.
