County of Bosanquet is a cadastral unit located in the Australian state of South Australia that covers land both located in the north of Eyre Peninsula and to the peninsula's north. It was proclaimed in 1913 and was named after Sir Day Hort Bosanquet who was the Governor of South Australia from 1909 to 1914.

The County of Bosanquet covers the part of South Australia extending from the southern end of Lake Gairdner in the north-east to the southern side of the Gawler Ranges in the south-west. Most of its extent is within Eyre Peninsula because the peninsula’s northern boundary passes through the county in an east-west direction. It is bounded to the west by the counties of Dufferin and Robinson to the south by the County of Le Hunte and to the east by the County of Hore-Ruthven.

While formal settlements do not exist within the county’s boundaries, it does include the following localities of which the majority are based on pastoral leases and which came into existence on 26 April 2013 - Thurlga and parts of Buckleboo, Carriewarloo, Cooyerdoo, Corunna Station, Gawler Ranges, Hiltaba, Kolendo, Lake Gairdner, Mount Ive, and Yardea.
