Tindal is a suburb of the town of Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia. It is within the Katherine Town Council local government area. The area was officially defined as a suburb in April 2007, adopting the name from RAAF Base Tindal.[3]
Ahead of the 2020 Territory election, the Northern Territory Electoral Commission moved boundaries, placing Tindal within the Arnhem electorate.[4] As a result of this change, the suburb is represented by a different Member of the MLA to residents in the town of Katherine itself.[5]
