McAlinden is a rural locality of the Shire of Boyup Brook in the South West region of Western Australia.[2][3]

The Shire of Boyup Brook is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman (also spelled Bibbulmun or Pibelmen)[4][5] and Kaniyang (also spelled Kaneang) people,[6][7] both of the Noongar nation, with the locality of McAlinden located on the land of the Kaniyang people.[8][9]

The locality contains two heritage-listed homesteads, the house and farm at 817 McAlinden Road and the Cootamundra homestead, built in 1932, with the buildings being opposite each other on McAlinden Road.[10][11]

The north-western corner of McAlinden is home to the Greater Preston National Park, also referred to as Preston National Park, which primarily stretches across the localities of McAlinden and Noggerup.[12][13]
