The County of Pelham is a county (a cadastral division) in Queensland, Australia, located in the Shire of Banana in Central Queensland. The county is divided into civil parishes. The county was created on 1 September 1855 by royal proclamation under the Waste Lands Australia Act 1846. On 7 March 1901, the Governor issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897. Its schedule described Pelham thus:

Bounded on the north by the county of Raglan; on the east by the counties of Clinton and Rawbelle; on the south by the county of Rawbelle and the southern watershed of Scoria and Prospect Creeks; and on the west by the eastern watershed of the Dawson River.
