Nyngan, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia.

The town stretches along the Bogan River at the intersection of Mitchell Highway and Barrier Highway, situated 576 kilometers northwest of Sydney.

The region, originally inhabited by Wangaibon Peoples, received its name from the Aboriginal word 'nyingan', indicating the presence of substantial water resources.

The Nyngan Museum contains exhibits of local heritage, including artifacts from agricultural development and the 1990 flood that required helicopter evacuations.

The settlement maintains essential administrative services through the Bogan Shire Council, supporting approximately 2,000 residents with infrastructure and community facilities.

A photovoltaic power station located 10 kilometers west of Nyngan features 1.36 million solar panels, making it one of Australia's largest solar installations.
