The Murray Region Hydroelectric Power Stations refers to two of the original seven hydroelectric power stations, both located near the town of Khancoban in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. The two power stations are part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro. Although both power stations are physically located in New South Wales, since 1 July 2008 all power generated has been allocated to the Victorian region of the National Electricity Market.{{cite web|url=http://www.aemo.com.au/Electricity/Planning/Related-Information/Generation-Information|title=Victoria: Existing & committed scheduled and semi-scheduled generation|work=Generation Information|format=MS Excel (requires download)|year=2013|publisher=Australian Energy Market Operator|access-date=13 May 2013}} The stations are not located on the Murray River; their names derive from the fact that their tailwaters ultimately drain into the Murray, via the Swampy Plain River.

These two stations are connected to the National Electricity Market via the TransGrid 330 kV Murray Switching Station (and the 330/132 kV substation for Guthega Power Station, Jindabyne Pumping Station & Jindabyne Dam Wall Mini Hydro Power Stations), {{cvt|1.56|km}} south-east of Khancoban.
