Wayatinah is a rural locality in the local government area of Central Highlands in the Central region of Tasmania. It is located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) north-west of the town of Hamilton.
Wayatinah was gazetted as a locality in 1971. The name is an Aboriginal word meaning “brook”.
The 2016 census determined a population of 34 for the state suburb of Wayatinah. At the 2021 census, the population had decreased to 18.
The River Derwent enters from the west, flows through Wayatinah Lagoon and then south, where it forms most of the southern boundary.
The Lyell Highway (A10) enters from the east and runs through to the north-west, where it exits. Route C604 (Long Spur Road) starts at an intersection with A10 and runs south through Wayatinah Forest Reserve to the River Derwent, where it ends.
