Coochin Coochin Homestead, Heritage-listed pastoral homestead in Coochin, Queensland, Australia.

Coochin Coochin Homestead is a complex of connected pavilions built mainly in the 1840s, 1880s and early 1900s, set in an established garden with a meat house, hay sheds and a tree yard. The earliest fabric dates to the 1840s, and the homestead was moved to its present position in 1871.

The property was established in 1842 as Dulhunty's Plain, marking one of the earliest pastoral stations in the Moreton region of Queensland. Its growth as a livestock operation reflects the expansion of colonial settlement in this part of the colony.

John Kent took over the lease in 1844 and revived the traditional name Coochin Coochin, an anglicised form of ga-jin-ga-jin, meaning "red stones". The Bells, owners since 1883, were known for their hospitality, and in the 1920s the homestead became the social focus of the district, hosting large parties and notable guests.

Coochin Coochin Homestead is a private working property owned by the Bell family, so there is no public walking route through the buildings or garden. Views of the homestead complex are from J Bell Road in Coochin, Scenic Rim Region. The Queensland Heritage Register entry of 21 August 1992 records the listing; enquiries about access go through the owners.

The property contains a tree yard with plantings from notable visitors, including specimens planted during Lord Chelmsford's visit in 1907. These trees serve as visible reminders of historical guests and their time at the homestead.
