Menangle (34°07′S, 150°44′E) is a small town in New South Wales, Australia, just outside the Sydney suburban area, in Wollondilly Shire. It grew to service the operations of Camden Park Estate. The opening of the railway in 1863 enabled overnight milk deliveries to the Sydney Market, beating the summer heat in the days before refrigeration. The railway bridge over the Nepean River is the oldest in use today.

It has a station on the Southern Highlands line with relatively infrequent service with trains running every 1.5 - 2 hours.

Menangle has many heritage listed buildings. These include The Menangle Store, the Rotolactor, The Pines, Menangle railway station[1] and the Menangle Railway Viaduct. There are other listed sites as well. The Anglian Church was built by Elizabeth Macarthur-Onslow in the late 1800s.
