Tutye is a locality situated on the section of the Mallee Highway between Ouyen and the South Australian border in the Sunraysia region of Victoria, Australia. The place by road, is situated about 9 kilometres southeast from Boinka and 12 kilometres northwest from Cowangie.
A Post Office opened on 15 July 1912 when a regular mail service was provided by the opening of the railway line from Ouyen to Murrayville a month earlier. The office closed in 1980.[4] A primary school, Tutye State School, was officially opened in 1920, although it had been in operation since 1914.[5][6] It no longer exists.
The area of the locality contains the smaller area of Tyalla.
