Benjaberring is a small town in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The name of the town originates from the Aboriginal name of a nearby water source. The name of the area first appears on charts in 1846, and the town site was first declared as Benjabbering in 1910 but the spelling was changed to Benjaberring in 1911 to more accurately reflect the correct pronunciation.
