Tanbar Station is a pastoral lease that currently operates as a cattle station in Tanbar, Shire of Barcoo, Queensland, Australia.

It is located approximately 87 kilometres (54 mi) south west of Windorah and 240 kilometres (149 mi) north east of Innamincka in the Channel Country of Queensland. The Cooper Creek runs through the property.

Established at some time prior to 1884 by John Costello he sold it to Armitage and Gillately shortly after taking it up. In 1886 the property was having a good season with 6 inches (150 mm) of rain recorded in less than a month and all the waterholes were full John Henderson was running Tanbar in 1888. Mr B. Richardson acquired both Tanbar and Abbottsford Station, which is also on Cooper Creek, in 1903. By 1907 the Christian brothers owned Tanbar.

The property was sold in 1911 when it was stocked with 10,000 cattle by the Christian brothers to the Rocklands Pastoral Company for £30,000.

By 1931 the station encompassed an area of 3,000 square miles (7,770 km2) and was managed by Robert John Kyle Little but the property was still owned by Rocklands. One neighbouring property at the time was Keeroongooloo Station.
