Annuello is a locality situated in the Mallee region of Australia. By road, Annuello is about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of Koimbo and 34 kilometres (21 mi) south of Robinvale.

It is located in a wheat growing area begun by soldier settlers after World War I. A post office opened on 15 April 1921,[2] a month after the railway line towards Robinvale began operations. The station was closed to passengers in February 1978, and the line was closed in January 2008.[3]

A strain of wheat suitable for the area is named Annuello.[4]

A 'back to Annuello' weekend was held for ex residents in September 2022.Homage-to-hardship:-ghost-town-reunion-
