Koppamurra is a locality located within the Naracoorte Lucindale Council in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. It abuts the eastern border of the state with Victoria.

The Koppamurra rare-earth mining project, owned by Australian Rare Earths, is based on a deposit containing four critical rare earth elements: praseodymium, neodymium, terbium, and dysprosium. As of May 2023, the project held multiple exploration licences including four in South Australia, and one in Victoria, covering over 4,000 km2 (1,500 sq mi). In December 2024 the project received a AU$5 million government grant under its "International Partnerships in Critical Minerals" program, to support a demonstration plant.
