Maindample is a town in north east Victoria (Australia). It is located in the Mansfield Shire local government area, 174 kilometres (108 mi) north east of the state capital Melbourne.

South, just outside the town, are twin hills known as The Paps. The Aboriginal name for these is Maindample.[2]

The Maroondah Highway passes near the town on route to the lower alpine region of Victoria.
