Muccan or Muccan Station is a cattle station and pastoral lease, previously functioning as a sheep station, situated approximately northeast of Marble Bar and southeast of Port Hedland within the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The property is characterized by gently rolling land dominated by extensive spinifex grasslands, with Kookenyia Creek and the De Grey River traversing the area.
The lease was originally established in 1879 by Grant, Anderson, and Edgar, who appointed Christopher Coppin as the station manager. After managing for seven years, Coppin departed to establish the adjacent Yarrie Station. Later, the Darlot brothers took ownership but eventually exchanged Muccan for Warrawagine Station with Ball and Corbett.
By 1897, the Ball brothers and Michael Corbett jointly owned the property, running a flock of at least 5,000 sheep. When their partnership ended in 1900, Corbett and one of the Ball brothers continued managing Muccan. Sheep numbers increased to around 17,000 by 1906 and stood at 13,005 in 1908. Corbett became sole owner by 1912; that year, shearing produced 19,000 sheep yielding 330 wool bales.
In 1913, Corbett entered into a partnership with Charles Holthouse; at this time, the station spanned approximately , supporting about 20,000 sheep. The following year saw a wool yield of nearly 300 bales from a flock of 18,000 sheep. After Corbett passed away in 1923, Holthouse assumed full ownership until his death in 1945.
From around 1990 onward, Muccan has been operated in conjunction with Yarrie Station by members of the Coppin family. In 2015, Mahony and Coppin Pastoral purchased Muccan Station and currently oversee its operations.
