Carnegie Station (25°47'45.0"S 122°58'31.1"E), sometimes referred to as the Carnegie pastoral lease, is situated to the north of Laverton and eastward of Wiluna within Western Australia. It holds the distinction of being the easternmost pastoral lease along the Gunbarrel Highway.
The property comprises a homestead, an outstation, an outcamp, a woolshed, as well as an Aboriginal outstation. It falls inside the Wiluna Native Title Claim region, associated with the Martu claim that was resolved in 2013.
Located approximately west of the homestead is Carnegie Station Airport.
Positioned at the western boundary of the Gibson Desert and the southern fringe of the Little Sandy Desert, Carnegie Station adjoins the eastern flank of the Lady Lawley Range. It lies north of Lake Carnegie and marks the western endpoint of the original Gunbarrel Highway.
The station's narrative is intimately connected with the Linke family. Due to its isolated setting, it has been a site where artefacts from early explorers have been discovered, alongside occurrences involving stranded or inadequately prepared travellers.
In 1940, G Lanagan and his spouse undertook the movement of 800 cattle from the Kimberley region to Carnegie Station—a trek covering , partially along the Canning Stock Route.
