The Hundred of Kongorong is a cadastral division of the County of Grey in southeastern South Australia. It was named on 12 June 1862 after an indigenous phrase thought to mean "the corner of it".[1][2]

The township of Kongorong is at the heart of the hundred with coastal localities making up the remainder. From northwest to south east these are: Carpenter Rocks, Pelican Point, Blackfellows Caves, Nene Valley, and Cape Douglas.
