Mumbulla Shire was a local government area in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.

Mumbulla Shire was proclaimed on 7 March 1906, one of 134 shires created after the passing of the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905.[1]

The shire office was in Bega[2] but Bega itself was not in Mumbulla shire. Other towns and villages in the shire included Bemboka, Bermagui and Cobargo.[2]

In 1961 Mumbulla Shire had a population of 3752.[1]

Mumbulla Shire was amalgamated with Imlay Shire and the Municipality of Bega on 1 January 1981 to create Bega Valley Shire per the Local Government Areas Amalgamation Act 1980.[3]
