Koolpinyah is a locality in the Northern Territory of Australia located about 37 kilometres (23 mi) east of the territory capital of Darwin. ^{[1] [3]}

The locality consists of land bounded to the east by the Adelaide River and in part to the north by the Clarence Strait. This locality is named after Koolpinyah Station, a pastoral lease established on land now partly included in the locality in 1908 by Evan and Oscar Herbert, the sons of Charles Edward Herbert, a judge, a politician and a former Government Resident of the Northern Territory. The name is ultimately derived from "Gulpinyah", the aboriginal name for a waterhole located near the station’s homestead. Its boundaries and name were gazetted on 4 April 2007. ^{[7] [1]}

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Koolpinyah had no people living within its boundaries. ^[2]

Koolpinyah is located within the federal division of Lingiari, the territory electoral division of Goyder and within the local government area of the Litchfield Municipality. ^{[5] [4] [8]}
