Dangelong is a rural locality in the Snowy Monaro Regional Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It is located south-east of Cooma. It had no people or a very low population recorded at the 2021 census.
The eastern boundary of the locality is formed by the Numeralla River, and the confluence of that river with its tributary, Dangelong Creek lies in the locality.
The area now known as Dangelong lies on the traditional lands of Ngarigo people. The name, Dangelong, is probably derived from an Aboriginal word, as rendered by colonial settlers, that was applied to an early squatting run in the area.
John Mackenzie established 'Dangelong' station, a vast squatting run of 44 square miles (11,396 hectares), when he occupied land taken from Ngarigo people, as a squatter. He began a grazing operation at Dangelong, which had twenty-six residents and ten slab huts, by 1839. He chose to reside, with his family, on other land that he owned at Nerriga. One of Mackenzies's sons—probably his eldest son, Andrew—managed 'Dangelong', during the time that it was controlled by Mackenzie. In 1848, as a result of Mackenzie's insolvency and subsequent bankruptcy, the 'Dangelong' run leasehold, by then of 15,000 acres, passed to another early landholder, William Bradley. The station was later part of the extensive Monaro landholdings of the Wallace family.
During the 1870s, the squatter run was opened to selection, resulting in its subdivision into smaller properties, although the 'Dandelong' station still existed and retained some of the land.
