Kingaroy Peanut Silos, Agricultural storage facility in Kingaroy, Australia.

The Kingaroy Peanut Silos are three concrete silos (Nos 2, 3 and 4) at 117–131 Haly Street, Kingaroy, designed by Thomas Robinson & Son and Macdonald Wagner Consulting Engineers and built in 1938 by Kell & Rigby. They dominate the town skyline and were listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 8 October 2010.

The Queensland Peanut Marketing Board commissioned these storage buildings between 1938 and 1951 to support growing peanut production in the region. Their construction reflected the rising importance of peanut farming to Australia's agricultural economy.

Peanuts have been grown in the South Burnett since about 1901, and from around 1920 the crop became central to the district. The Queensland Peanut Marketing Board, gazetted on 23 August 1924, was headquartered in Kingaroy, and the silos stand as its most visible mark on the town. The three towers dominate the skyline and are widely recognised symbols of the industry.

The site is easily accessible and offers good views of the structures from street level, particularly in morning light. Comfortable shoes are recommended if you plan to walk around the area to get different perspectives of the towers.

The three silos standing today are Nos 2, 3 and 4, built in stages between 1938 and 1951; No. 1 is not among them. Before the first silo went up, the Peanut Board leased local barns and treated nuts in the Railway's Grain Shed at Kingaroy yard.
