Gwabegar, New South Wales, Australia, is a town of 150 persons located in the middle of the largest naturally forming Cypress Pine Forest in the Southern Hemisphere, the Pilliga State Forest.

The timber industry was once the main-stay of the town but has been closed, leaving farming as a source of income.

Gwabegar is the historical terminus of the Gwabegar railway line, which is now truncated to Binnaway.
