Bodallin is a town located around half way between Merredin and Southern Cross in Western Australia.

In 1932 the Wheat Pool of Western Australia announced that the town would have two grain elevators, each fitted with an engine, installed at the railway siding. It is a stop on the Prospector rural train service, and is a location of a crossing loop on the railway. The main industry in town is wheat farming with the town being a Cooperative Bulk Handling receival site.
