Scone Shire was a local government area in the Hunter region of New South Wales, Australia. The shire offices were located in the town of Scone. [1]

It was established on 1 January 1958 following the amalgamation of the Municipality of Scone with the original Upper Hunter Shire. [2] The shire had surrounded the municipality and the offices of both had been located in the town. [3] [4]

It amalgamated with parts of the abolished Merriwa Shire and Murrurundi Shire to form a new, larger Upper Hunter Shire on 17 March 2004. [5]
