Pootenup is a townsite in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. Pootenup is located in both the Shire of Cranbrook and the Shire of Broomehill-Tambellup. The Great Southern Highway forms the shire boundary in this area and the area of the townsite of Pootenup spans either side of the highway. Because of its location across two shires, Tunney has two postcodes, 6320 for the eastern part, located in Broomehill-Tambellup, and 6321 for the western part, located in Cranbrook. Parts of the gazetted area of the former townsite is now covered by the Pootenup Nature Reserve.
