The Hundred of Palmer is a cadastral hundred of the County of Newcastle in South Australia. It is

located near 32.35°S, 138.21°E east of the township of Quorn, and south of the former town of Willochra which, although surveyed in 1860, never properly developed and was abandoned during the drought in the 1860s.{{cite web |url=http://history.flindersranges.com.au/living-with-the-land/water |title=Flinders Ranges - Water – life and death |year=2013 |accessdate=16 March 2015 |publisher=Froling Enterprises}}
