Nantawarra (; postcode: 5550) is a town in the postal area of Bowmans. The township is located just east of Highway 1, approximately 125km north of Adelaide. Nantawarra is recognisable from a distance for its imposing grain silos which, like the township, are strategically located just east of the Adelaide – Port Augusta railway line. The name Nantawarra may derive from the word nantuwara (meaning a northern yerta, or family group) in Kaurna, the language of the indigenous people of the region.
