Quirindi Shire was a local government area in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.

Quirindi Shire was proclaimed on 1 January 1980, created from the amalgamation of Tamarang Shire and the Municipality of Quirindi as a result of the Local Government Areas Amalgamation Act 1980.[1]

The shire offices were based in Quirindi. Other localities in the Shire included Blackville, Caroona, Colly Blue, Premer and Spring Ridge.[2]

Quirindi Shire amalgamated with parts of Murrurundi Shire, Parry Shire and Gunnedah Shires to form Liverpool Plains Shire on 17 March 2004.[3]
