Coniston, Northern Territory, Australia is a sheep station in central Australia at latitude 22.043S, longitude 132.491E. A local map can be found here.

Coniston is best known as the site of the Coniston massacre, which was the last known massacre of Indigenous Australians, in August 1928.

However, it is still a working sheep station, and has been featured by the Northern Territory government for its introduction of a 6.4kW solar power station.
