Kappawanta (also known as Kappawanta Station) is both a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station and a gazetted bounded locality in South Australia. The boundaries of the locality were formalised in November 1999 for the long established local name. It includes the cadastral Hundreds of Kappawanta, Blesing and Hudd, and sections of the Hundreds of Barwell, Cowan and Tinline.

It is situated approximately 36 kilometres (22 mi) east of Elliston and 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of Wudinna on the Eyre Peninsula near Lake Newland.

In 1862 Kappawanta was owned by Thomas Horn and Edward Kent when they dissolved their partnership.

In 1888 the 102 square miles (264 km2) property that had an estimated £3,182 worth of improvements was placed on the market for auction. The following year all of the station stock and plant was sold off and the property was effectively abandoned. In 1863 the station was stocked with 5,345 sheep.
