The Shire of Dundas is a local government area in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The shire covers an area of 93,179 square kilometres (35,977 sq mi) and its seat of government is the town of Norseman. Its territory lies between Norseman and the border with South Australia (including much of the Eyre Highway), and is between 700 and 1,500 kilometres (430-930 mi) east of the state capital, Perth.
In 1895, the Dundas Road Board was gazetted. It merged with part of Esperance to become the Norseman Road Board in 1918, but reestablished as Dundas in 1929. On 1 July 1961, it became the Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act.
