The Hundred of Ninnes is a cadastral unit of hundred located in the Mid North of South Australia centred on the Ninnes Plain. It is one of the 16 hundreds of the County of Daly[1] and was proclaimed by Governor Anthony Musgrave on the last day of 1874.[2]

There are no towns within the hundred boundaries. The majority is taken up by the bounded localities of Ninnes and Thomas Plain. The bounded localities of Willamulka, Alford, Bute and Paskeville overlap the northwestern and southern boundaries.

Plan of Hundred of Ninnes, 1912

The hundred was named for the Ninnes Plain which in turn was named after the local landowner, Thomas Ninnes.[2]
