Barcoo Shire Council is a Local Government Area located in the far west of Queensland, Australia. The shire includes the towns of Stonehenge, Windorah as well as the administrative centre, Jundah.
It is named for the Barcoo River which reaches a confluence with the Thomson River in the shire to form Cooper Creek.
The major industry in the shire is beef production and some opal mining. There has been some development of the known oil and gas reserves in the region.
