Collinsville is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder.^[1] It was established in August 2000, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name".^[2] It has almost exactly the same boundaries as the cadastral Hundred of Tomkinson, with small variations on its western border.^[3]

The Hundred of Tomkinson was proclaimed on 18 September 1879 by Governor William Jervois, named after politician Samuel Tomkinson.^[3] Collinsville Post Office opened on 1 April 1896, named after the property of local grazier John Collins; it closed on 1 December 1917. The state Nomenclature Committee had recommended in 1916 that the post office be renamed 'Metiappa', an abridgement of 'Piltimetiappa', the Aboriginal name for a local creek and the name of another local station, but there is no record of this having occurred before the closure.^[2]^[4] The Collinsville property developed as a famous merino stud, and upon Collins' death, The Advertiser described his family firm as "among the best studmasters in Australia".^[5]

The historic Collinsville Homestead Complex and the Piltimittiappa Homestead are both listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.^[6]^[7]

Much of the Caroona Creek Conservation Park lies within Collinsville.^[1]
