Greenough /ˈɡrɛnəf/ is a historical settlement situated in a floodplain (the Greenough Flats) 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of Perth, Western Australia and 24 kilometres (15 mi) south of Geraldton on the Brand Highway. The settlement's historical buildings are mostly built of local limestone and date to the second half of the 19th century. A sizeable collection of these are owned and managed by the National Trust of Australia. A remarkable feature of the Greenough Flats is its windswept trees, some of which are bent 90 degrees due to the prevailing coastal winds.
The mouth of the Greenough River is about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the north of the town.
