Currawilla Station is a pastoral lease that currently operates as a cattle station in Queensland.

It is located approximately 135 kilometres (84 mi) west of Windorah and 217 kilometres (135 mi) east of Birdsville in Queensland. The property adjoins Palparara and Narradunna Stations. It is situated in the Channel Country and is well watered by numerous creeks in the area. The homestead is found along the Currawilla waterhole on the Torrens Creek. Farrar's Creek also runs through the property.

Established at some time prior to 1878, by Jack Farrar. Farrar had worked at McGregor's Mount Margaret Station and kept his own herd. Farrar later left and followed the Diamantina River down the channel county and took up a block about 100 square miles (259 km2) on Farrar's Creek and named it Currawilla after the Aboriginal name for a waterhole. Farrar later sold it to Mr Cotton who substantially increased the size of the holding.
