Balingup () is a town located in the south west of Western Australia, 241 km south of Perth and 31 km south east of Donnybrook.

The townsite takes its name from Balingup Pool, located in Balingup Brook which flows through the town. The name was first recorded by a surveyor in 1850, and is said to be derived from the name of an Aboriginal warrior, Balingan. *

The town is located on the South Western Highway. The railway line was opened in 1898, the same year as the town was gazetted.
