Yeppoon () is a coastal town and locality in the Shire of Livingstone, Queensland, Australia, situated on the traditional lands of the Darumbal people, who are the Indigenous custodians and Native Title holders of the Rockhampton and Capricorn Coast region. The town name "Yeppoon" derives from a Darumbal word yappun, meaning "place where the waters meet". Yeppoon is renowned for its beaches, tropical climate, and the islands out on the bay. Located 41 kilometres (25 mi) from the city of Rockhampton, Yeppoon is the seat of the Shire of Livingstone and the principal town on the Capricorn Coast, a string of seaside communities stretching more than 150 kilometres (93 mi) from north to south. The beaches and shallow coves provide a destination both for tourists and retirees settling down in Central Queensland. Offshore, there are 27 islands including Great Keppel Island which is 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Yeppoon. In the 2021 census, the locality of Yeppoon had a population of 7,037 people; this does not include any neighbouring suburbs.
