Shire of Eacham is a Local Government Area in Far North Queensland, Australia. The shire is located on the Atherton Tableland, a plateau forming part of the Great Dividing Range west of the city of Cairns.
Towns in the shire include Butcher's Creek, Jaggan, Millaa Millaa, Peeramon, Tarzali, Yungaburra and the administrative centre, Malanda.
Despite its tropical latitude, the high altitude on the tableland allows a dairy industry to operate.
