Cervantes (30°29′S 115°04′E) is a town in Western Australia. It was named after a ship that was wrecked nearby. The ship, in turn, was named after Miguel de Cervantes.

There is little industry in the town beyond fishing. The pinnacles are nearby in Nambung National Park which makes for a small industry from tourism. Lake Thetis is a saline lake located nearby which contains stromatolites.
