Bungunya is a town and locality in the Goondiwindi Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2011 census, Bungunya had a population of 189 people.
Bungunya is located immediately north of the Macintyre River, which is the border between Queensland and New South Wales. The Weir River flows from east to west through the northern part of the locality. Other creeks flow from east to west through other parts of the locality. All of these rivers and creeks ultimately flow into the Barwon River in New South Wales.
The town is located in the approximate centre of the locality. The Barwon Highway (from St George to Goondiwindi) passes from east to west through the middle of the locality, immediately to the north of the town. The South Western railway line (from Warwick to Dirranbandi) also passes from east to west through the locality, but to the immediate south of the town. The town was once served by the former Bungunya railway station (28°25′35″S 149°39′27″E / 28.4264°S 149.6575°E) in the town and by the former Welltown railway station (28°26′40″S 149°43′57″E / 28.4445°S 149.7325°E) in the east of the locality.
