The Shire of Tullaroop was a local government area about 170 kilometres (106 mi) northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia, surrounding the regional centre of Maryborough. The shire covered an area of 637.63 square kilometres (246.2 sq mi), and existed from 1861 until 1995. Maryborough itself was managed by a separate entity, ultimately known as the City of Maryborough. After a large-scale statewide amalgamation program by the Victorian Government in 1994, they were united under the Shire of Central Goldfields.
