Map of Burren Junction, NSW 2386

Burren Junction is a New South Wales village 51 km west of Wee Waa, on the Kamilaroi Highway to Walgett. The name is from the local Aboriginal word for boomerang or 'big creek'. Burren Junction grew from a railway encampment which came from the extension of the north-western rail line in 1902.

Burren Junction Post Office opened on 16 May 1904.

Burren Junction is in the Walgett Shire local government area and Jamison County. The village sits at an elevation of 163 metres and recorded a population of 276 at the 2016 census.

Wheat and cotton growing are the main agricultural industries along with some sheep and beef cattle breeding.

The town has two churches, RSL and Sporting Club (now closed), a cafe, a sports ground, plus a hotel. The Burren Junction Bore is a hot mineral water pool complex that is floodlit to provide day and night bathing. It is popular with tourists and locals as it has recently (2024) been upgraded and is clean, and well kept by a caretaker, it is cared for by The Walgett Shire Council.

There is also a pool, park and tennis court used for recreation. The tennis court is in poor condition, with only one of the three in passable condition. There used to be an annual tennis tournament in Burren Junction, however, this stopped in the 1980s. One method used to get the long weekend tennis tournament finished after rain was to fly a helicopter above the courts to dry the surface.
