Plenty is a rural locality in the local government area (LGA) of Derwent Valley in the South-east LGA region of Tasmania. The locality is about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north-west of the town of New Norfolk. The 2016 census recorded a population of 93 for the state suburb of Plenty.[1] It is a small locality and the name of a tributary river on the south side of the River Derwent in the Derwent Valley.

Formerly the location of hop growing, and fishing for salmon trout (brown trout), it is now notable for the Salmon Ponds (the original 1864 Plenty river fish hatchery) and the Tasmanian Museum of Trout Fishing.[2]
