Parkesbourne is a locality in the Goulburn Mulwaree Council, New South Wales, Australia.[3][4] The Hume Highway runs on its southern edge. It lies about 20 km west of Goulburn and 90 km northeast of Canberra. At the 2016 census, it had a population of 170.[5]

Parkesbourne is said to have been originally called "Breadalbane Plains", but renamed by Henry Parkes after himself during a visit in the 1860s when he was "education minister" (most likely actually Colonial Secretary in 1866–68).[6][7] Parkesbourne had a state school from May 1870 to April 1969. This was described as a "public school" from April 1872. Earlier it was described as "half-time school" or "provisional school".[8]
