Canowindra ( ) is a historic township and the largest population centre in Cabonne Shire, situated on the Belubula River. The town is located between Orange and Cowra in the central west of New South Wales, Australia. The curving main street, Gaskill Street, is partly an urban conservation area.
== Toponymy == The name of the town is derived from a Wiradjuri (an Aboriginal language) word meaning 'a home' or 'camping place'.
