Glenflorrie Station, sometimes referred to as Glen Florrie Station, is a pastoral lease functioning as a cattle station situated roughly south of Pannawonica and west of Paraburdoo within the Pilbara area of Western Australia. The property encompasses an expanse of .

The station, under the ownership of Murray and Aticia Grey, focuses on raising Brahman cattle intended for the live export industry.

Water supply on the property includes Glenflorrie Creek, with the station positioned between the Ashburton and Henry Rivers. It shares its borders with Uaroo Station. The land's original custodians are the Tharrkari people, who currently lease and operate Ullawarra Station.

Glenflorrie was established prior to 1894 and has historically supported both sheep and cattle farming. Before 1900, G. W. Hall became the owner and later put the property up for auction in 1919; at that time, it extended over and carried a stock of 7,000 sheep, 300 cattle, and 50 horses.

In 1937, ownership transferred from the Higham brothers to the Greenway brothers. During Ron Greenway’s tenure in 1952, the original homestead was lost to fire, although a new homestead being built adjacent to it was not damaged.

In 2009, native title rights were recognized for the Thudgari Aboriginal people over an area of about , which includes Glenflorrie along with nearby stations. This recognition allows for traditional activities such as hunting, gathering, and camping on their ancestral territory.
