Monjingup is a locality of the Shire of Esperance in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The South Coast Highway and the Kalgoorlie to Esperance railway pass through Monjingup while the Coolgardie–Esperance Highway forms its eastern border. The western part of the townsite of Shark Lake is located in the north-east of Monjingup, while the Lake Warden Nature Reserve is located in the south-east.
The traditional lands of the Wudjari and Njunga people, both of the Noongar nation, occupy most of the Shire of Esperance, including the area around Esperance. The eastern tribes of the Wudjari, the Njunga, are seen as a separate people for cultural reasons, having adopted different cultural practices. The Young River, in the west of the shire, forms the boundary between the two groups and Esperance and Monjingup are on the traditional land of the later.
