Mulgarrie is a ghost town, located between Kalgoorlie and Leonora in the Shire of Menzies in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.

The locality was originally known as Hayes Find or Hit and Miss, and was reported upon in the 1890s.[1][2][3] The area was visited by the surveyor Beasley in 1896, who suggested that a townsite was required. Lots were surveyed later the same year and the townsite was gazetted in 1897.[4][5]
