Aberdeen, Administrative division in Upper Hunter Region, Australia
Aberdeen is a settlement in the Upper Hunter Region of New South Wales that sits along the New England Highway. The locality features residential pockets surrounded by pastoral farmland and livestock stations typical of rural inland Australia.
The settlement gained its name in 1828 when Thomas Potter McQueen acquired 10,000 acres and named it after George Hamilton-Gordon, Earl of Aberdeen. This land grant marked the beginning of European colonization and development in the Hunter Valley region.

The settlement connects to Sydney and Armidale via the daily Xplorer train service, which provides the main transport link. Local bus routes link the area to neighboring towns for general travel needs.
The Segenhoe Inn, built in 1837, stands as one of the oldest surviving structures from the early colonial period. This building remains a rare example of architecture from that era still in use today.
