Glenroy Station is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in Western Australia.
Situated approximately 110 kilometres (68 mi) north of Fitzroy Crossing and 260 kilometres (162 mi) east of Derby in the Kimberley region.
The property was established in the early 1900s by Arthur Blythe and Reginald Nash Spong. The Blythe family had been active in the West Kimberley since 1885. The family owned Brooking Creek Station on the Fitzroy River and Arthur's father, Joseph Blythe, later established Mount House Station.
Together Mount House and Glenroy occupy an area of 5,059 square kilometres (1,953 sq mi) and can carry approximately 20,000 head of cattle.
Blythe sold his share of the property to Jabez Pearson Orchard in about 1912. In 1916, Sidney Kidman invested in Glenroy with Spong and Orchard, forming the Glenroy Pastoral Company. This was Kidman's first investment in The West Kimberley.
In 1919, in a remarkable feat of droving, 300 horses were overlanded over 2,000 miles (3,218.7 km) from Kapunda to Fossil Downs and Glenroy. Only 26 horses were lost on the journey but one stockman was drowned at Caroline Pool on the last stages.
