Blinman is a locality incorporating two towns in the Australian state of South Australia within the Flinders Ranges about 425 kilometres (264 mi) north of the state capital of Adelaide. It includes the highest surveyed town in South Australia, with a population in the 2021 census of 43.[11] It serves as a base for large-acre pastoralists and tourism. Blinman is just north of the Flinders Ranges National Park, 60 kilometres (37 miles) north of Wilpena Pound. It is named after Robert Blinman, the shepherd who discovered its mineral resource.
The two towns were Blinman and Blinman North until 1986, when Blinman was re-named Blinman South and Blinman North was re-named Blinman.
