Mount Boninyong is a historic mansion at the base of Mount Buninyong, of which the homestead was named in the original spelling, located on the Midland Highway in Scotsburn, sitting immediately outside of the City of Ballarat in the Shire of Moorabool, Victoria, Australia. Built in 1884 in a distinctive Scottish Baronial style, the homestead and its surrounding garden form one of the most intact examples of late 19th century pastoral residence complexes in the Ballarat region. The property is notable for its association with early Scottish-Australian pastoral settlement.
