Cloncurry Shire Council is a Local Government Area in north western Queensland, Australia. The shire is based around its administrative centre of Cloncurry. The major industries in the shire are beef production and mining. Other towns in the shire include Duchess, Dajarra, Kajabbi, Malbon, and Quamby.
Prior to European settlement the area was home to the Mitakoodi, Kalkadoon and Pitta Pitta Aboriginal people.
The ghost town of Mary Kathleen, a town servicing a uranium mine since closed, is in the shire.
