Kimberley is a district in the Meander Valley Council Local Government Area in the North-West of Tasmania about midway between the towns of Sheffield and Deloraine. Once a thriving village with a school, railway station, shops and two churches, it has declined since the 1960s and is now a collection of houses with one church (St Michael and All Angels Anglican Church) remaining. Much of the surrounding farmland has been planted with plantation timber in recent years.
One of the attractions of the area is the Kimberley Warm Springs.
Kimberley is the site of the Dasher River Conservation Area.
Papua New Guinean politician Barry Holloway was born at Kimberley and is buried there.
