Tennant Creek Telegraph Station, Telegraph station in Northern Territory, Australia.

Tennant Creek Telegraph Station is a repeater station of the Overland Telegraph Line about 16 kilometres north of Tennant Creek. Its first building was temporary bush timber in 1872; by 1875 it was rebuilt in locally quarried stone. By the 1920s the grounds held a blacksmith shop, cart shed, ration store, meat house, smokehouse and cellar.

The station was established in 1872 as part of a telegraph line connecting Adelaide to Darwin, enabling direct communication with Britain. It served as a crucial link in the communication network of the Australian interior.

The Warumungu, the original inhabitants of the area, consider this place sacred because of its connection to the Songlines Jurnkurakurr and Jalawala. This spiritual meaning continues to shape how the community views and relates to the land today.

Visitors need to obtain an access key from the Battery Hill Mining Centre to explore the grounds and historic buildings. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and bring water since the site is in a hot and dry outback environment.

A telegraph linesman discovered gold near the station in 1925, which led to the founding of Tennant Creek township. This accidental discovery transformed an isolated communication outpost into a growing settlement.
