Tanumbirini Station is a pastoral lease on formerly what were Kotandji lands that operates as a cattle station in Northern Territory of Australia.

The property is situated approximately 170 kilometres (106 mi) north of Elliott and 182 kilometres (113 mi) west of Borroloola. The property abuts both the Bullwaddy Conservation Reserve and Amungee Mungee Station to the west.[1] Tanumbirini also shares a boundary with Nutwood Downs to the west, Beetaloo Station to the south, Broadmere to the east and the Alawa Aboriginal Land Trust to the north.[2] The Carpentaria Highway passes through the property.

It currently occupies an area of 5,001 square kilometres (1,931 sq mi) and is owned by Rallen Australia (owned by the Ravazzotti and Langenhoven families from South Africa) who acquired the property, along with nearby Forrest Hill Station for A$70 million. The properties have a combined area of 5,593 km2 (2,159 sq mi) and are able to support approximately 40,000 head of cattle.[3]
