Todmorden Station, most commonly known as Todmorden, is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in South Australia.

The property is situated approximately 82 kilometres (51 mi) north west of Oodnadatta and 114 kilometres (71 mi) east of Marla. The region is arid with several ephemeral creeks passing through the property including Alberga, Olarinna and Coongra Creeks, many of which have semi-permanent waterholes suitable for watering stock. The Oodnadatta Track runs through the property between Oodnadatta and Marla. The property is bounded to the north by Lambina and Hamilton Stations, to the east by Macumba, to the west by Wellbourn Hill and to the south by Arckaringa and Wintinna Stations.

Todmorden currently occupies an area of 7,169 square kilometres (2,768 sq mi) sub-divided into 32 paddocks, and supports between 5000 and 7000 head of cattle. The property has an average rainfall of 175 millimetres (7 in), but rainfall is highly variable, and so stock are watered mostly from the 32 bores on the property. The country is rangeland with sand dunes and mulga country found to the north, central gibber plains, and sandy gravel creek beds supporting stands of coolibah along the creeks flowing into large clay pans. The area supports large stands of Mitchell grass and saltbush, all suitable fodder for stock.
