Map of Monga, NSW 2622

Monga is a locality in the Queanbeyan-Palerang Region, Southern Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia. It lies on the Kings Highway at the top of the Clyde Mountain, about 110 km east of Canberra and 22 km southeast of Braidwood. A large part of the locality forms part of the Monga National Park. At the 2016 census, it had a population of 14.Monga lies near the watershed of the Shoalhaven and Clyde River catchments; the Mongarlow River flows to the Shoalhaven and the Buckenbowra River—flowing to the Clyde—has its source within the locality.

The area, now known as Monga, lies on the traditional lands of Walbanga people, a group of Yuin. An early bridle track to the Buckenbowra Valley, known, as the Corn Trail by early settlers, follows the general route of a Walbanga footpath.

There was once a small village of the same name, which lay near the right bank of the Mongalowe River, on the Clyde Road near the junction with the road from Reidsdale and Major's Creek (the modern day River Forest Road). The road to Major's Creek is still called Monga Lane. It was the location of a tollbar on the Clyde Road—from 1860 to 1865—and a village site was officially reserved there in 1881.The first sawmill was established in 1880 and was powered by large waterwheel, using water from the river. It operated until 1914.By the mid 20th-century, a timber village had been established at Monga, several kilometres south of the site on the Clyde Road, with a large sawmill nearby.
