Tinana is a town and a locality in the Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2011 census, Tinana had a population of 4,877people.
Tinana is on the south-western bank of the Mary River, opposite the town of Maryborough. Although originally a separate town, the construction of the Lamington Bridge over the Mary River has effectively made Tinana a suburb of Maryborough.
The name Tinana is derived from the name of the creek, which in turn was named in 1852 by surveyor William Labatt. The name is believed to be in honour of a Maori chief Tinanah, who was known to the botanist John Carne Bidwill from his time in New Zealand in 1840-41.
Tinana State School was established in the suburb in 1875.
Tinana State School is a co-educational government primary (P-6) school at 239 Gympie Road. In 2015, it had an enrolment of 509 students with 38 teachers (33 full-time equivalent).
