Mordalup is a rural locality of the Shire of Manjimup in the South West region of Western Australia. The locality's southern border is formed by the Muir Highway. The Tone River flows through Mordalup from north to south before turning west in the far south of the locality. Mordalup also borders the northern shore of Lake Muir.[1] [2]

Mordalup, like most of the Shire of Manjimup, is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman people of the Noongar nation.[3] [4] [5]

In October 1910, a state school was opened in Mordalup,[6] consisting of a small slab hut.[7]
