Tinana is a rural town and locality in the Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Tinana had a population of 5,872 people.
Tinana is bounded to the west, north and east by the Mary River, while Tinana Creek forms the south-east boundary.
The Bruce Highway enters the locality from the south (Tinana South), bypasses the town of Tinana to the west, and then exits the locality to the north (Maryborough West / Maryborough) crossing the Mary River on the Henry Palmer Bridge. Gympie Road (State Route 57) diverges from the Bruce Highway, passing through the town of Tinana, and exits the locality to the north-east across the Lamington Bridge to the Maryborough CBD.
Although originally a separate town, the construction of the Lamington Bridge over the Mary River has effectively made Tinana a suburb of Maryborough.
The land use is predominantly residential with the remainder used for growing sugarcane and grazing on native vegetation.
The name Tinana is derived from the name of the creek, which in turn was named in 1852 by surveyor William Labatt. The name is believed to be in honour of Ihikiera Te Tinana, a Māori chief who was known to the botanist John Carne Bidwill from his time in New Zealand in 1840–41.
Tinana Creek Provisional School opened in 1871, closed in 1873, reopened in 1874 and closed permanently in 1878.
