Kielpa is a town and locality on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.^[1] It is midway between Rudall and Darke Peak on the Eyre Peninsula Railway.^[1]

Kielpa once had a school and a post office, however neither remains. The bulk grain silos by the railway line are still in use for barley.^[5] Kielpa was proposed as the junction for a branch railway line to Campoona and Mangalo, and the railway was authorised by parliament to be built in 1916,^[6] however it was never constructed, and by 1929, the Public Works Committee determined that wheat could be more efficiently transported by motor lorry than by building this line.^[7]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Kielpa had 63 people living within the locality's boundaries.^[2]
