Buckleboo is a locality located in the Australian state of South Australia on the Eyre Peninsula about northwest of the Adelaide city centre and about northwest of Kimba.
Buckleboo began as a government town surveyed in November 1924. It was named in 1925 by Tom Bridges, the 19th Governor of South Australia after the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Buckleboo. Boundaries for the locality were created in 1999 and included the former government town of Buckleboo, the ceased government town of Moongi and the locality of Moongi. In 2013, a parcel of land was removed from the adjoining locality of Pinkawillinie and added to Buckleboo to ensure that the area once covered by the Buckleboo Pastoral Run was within the locality.
Buckleboo was until 2005 the railhead for the Eyre Peninsula Railway, a narrow gauge railway to haul grain via Kimba and Cummins to Port Lincoln for export. The silos at the former railway station and the few remaining buildings are surrounded by the Buckleboo Conservation Reserve, proclaimed in 1990.
The locality also includes the Moongi Conservation Reserve further along the railway survey, beyond where tracks were ever laid. Moongi also had a school and a Methodist Hall which opened in 1932.
Buckleboo is home to 'Buckleboo Park' which consists of six tennis courts and an oval for Australian rules football and cricket.
Buckleboo is in the District Council of Kimba local government area, the South Australian House of Assembly electoral district of Flinders and the Australian House of Representatives Division of Grey.
