Mertondale—also known as Mertondale Station—is a pastoral lease situated in the Goldfields region of Western Australia, positioned approximately northeast of Leonora and west of Laverton. The property has functioned as both a sheep station in the past and currently as a cattle station. It shares boundaries with Nambi, Clover Downs, and Tarmoola Station.
Located within the station's perimeter is the deserted settlement of Mertondale, which was officially established in 1899 following a gold discovery but was deserted by 1910.
The property was under the management of Andrew McDonald until his retirement in 1950.
Mertondale is operated in conjunction with Clover Downs Station, together encompassing an area of . In 2013, the combined properties were offered for sale at A$1.2 million and support a livestock capacity of 9,000 sheep and 1,300 cattle. Certain sections of Mertondale have experienced infestations of coral cactus, which originated from adjacent Tarmoola Station.
In 2020, ownership of Mertondale was transferred to the Department of Defence to protect the Jindalee Operational Radar Network from potential foreign intelligence threats.
