Carlindi Station—occasionally referred to as Carlindie Station—is a pastoral lease in Western Australia that originally operated as a sheep station before converting to cattle grazing.

Situated approximately southeast of Port Hedland and northwest of Marble Bar, it lies along the East Strelley River within the Pilbara district. The property shares its boundary with Shaw Station.

Established prior to 1907, Carlindi was considered one of the smaller pastoral leases in the area. By 1908, it was engaged in wool production for export markets and maintained a flock of 5,300 sheep by 1912. In 1913, the station was under the management of Archie McGregor and Percy Charles Riches. At that time, fencing was incomplete, and the sheep population had increased to 10,000, with an estimated carrying capacity of 17,000. The station also raised donkeys and mules to assist with operational tasks and well upkeep.

After the deaths of McGregor and Riches in 1919, Thomas Molloy assumed management responsibilities for many years before relocating to De Grey Station.

Today, Carlindi forms part of the Strelley group of properties leased by the Nomads Charitable Foundation to benefit local Aboriginal communities. The lease spans an area of , encompassing other stations such as Callawa Station, Strelley, and Lalla Rookh Station.
