Coorinja Vineyard (often referred to as Coorinja Winery or Coorinja Wines) is an Australian winery based at Toodyay, in the Central Western Australia wine zone of Western Australia. Founded in about the 1870s, it is one of the oldest in the state.

The winery has been described by Michael Zekulich, former wine writer for The West Australian, as "a fortified haven". Its name is an Aboriginal word believed to mean "place of the seven springs".

The Coorinja property has been owned by the Wood family since 1919. The family also runs a cropping and sheep operation there.
