Numinbah Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve that is located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The reserve was gazetted in December 1981. A further addition was made in 1989 to make the reserve its current area of 858 hectares (2,120 acres). The reserve is situated northeast of the rural locality of Numinbah and south of the Queensland town of Springbrook and defines part of the state border between New South Wales and Queensland.
The reserve is part of the Mount Warning/Tweed caldera, situated in the Border Ranges, and is part of the Shield Volcano group of the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia inscribed in 1986 and added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2007. It is also part of the Scenic Rim Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance in the conservation of several species of threatened birds.
