Bowenville is a town in the Toowoomba Regional Council local government area in Queensland, Australia. The town was based around the rail industry and with the winding down of the railways the population declined. At the 2011 census, Bowenville had a population of 362.[1]

Just north of the Warrego Highway east of Dalby, Bowenville has the basic requirements for the traveller, including fuel, a post office, barbecues, a hotel and public telephone. It is a short drive from two major tourist attractions in the region, the historic Jondaryan Woolshed and the Acland Coal Mine.
