Miling is a small town in the Shire of Moora, {{convert|200|km|mi|0}} north of Perth, Western Australia. At the {{CensusAU|2021}}, it had a population of 101.

Miling is the terminus of the Clackline–Miling railway branch line 150 miles from Perth. This branch line originally started at Clackline, but {{ndash}} after the changes to the Eastern Railway in 1966 {{ndash}} commenced at West Toodyay.

Miling is within the network known as the "wheatbins", which are areas served by the Wheatbelt railway lines of Western Australia.{{Citation | author1=Aerial Surveys Australia | author2=HRRC | title=Aerial photographs of the Miling wheat bin, 2 Dec. 1963 [picture] | publication-date=1963 | url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/11454241 | access-date=18 October 2012}}
