Windera is a town in the South Burnett Region and a locality split between the South Burnett Region and the Gympie Region in Queensland, Australia.
The town was originally shown on an 1924 survey plan as Kantara with the railway station named Jelanga, assigned by the Queensland Railways Department on 18 March 1924. However, on 2 August 1924, the station was renamed Windera after a pastoral run operated from 1849 by pastoralist Paul Lawless. The town name changed to match the railway station.
Windera was the terminus of the Windera railway line, a branch line from the Murgon-to-Proston railway line. Both lines are now closed.
Windera State School is on the Murgon-Gayndah Road and caters for students Prep to Year 6. The school opened on 24 May 1920.
