Map of Yanmah, WA 6258

Yanmah is a rural locality and town of the Shire of Manjimup in the South West region of Western Australia. The Yanmah Brook flows through the locality and the Yanmah State Forest is located in Yanmah as well.

Yanmah is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman people of the Noongar nation.

Yanmah was established as a service centre as part of the Group Settlement Scheme in 1922. Original naming suggestions were Janninup, the local indigenous name for the area, and Mitchelldean, after the premier of Western Australia at the time, but Yanmah was chosen instead, meaning "go ahead" or "go quickly". The townsite of Yanmah was gazetted in January 1923. The school was opened in 1922 and closed in 1954.

The town and the Group Settlement were not a success, and little of it now remains. Almost its only feature, the heritage listed Glenoran Hall, a community hall, was relocated to Yanmah, a common fate for timber buildings at the time, and is now in private ownership.
