McAlinden is a rural locality of the Shire of Boyup Brook in the South West region of Western Australia.[3][4]

McAlinden is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang (also spelt Kaniyang) people of the Noongar nation.[5][6][7]

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.[8][9]

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.[10][11]
