Overland Corner is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located in the state’s east about {{convert|181|km}} north-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about {{convert|30|km}} west of the municipal seat in Berri.

It is located on the Murray River in the Riverland area of South Australia, near Barmera and Cobdogla. The area had traditionally been used as an aboriginal camping ground and was then used by drovers taking stock from New South Wales to Adelaide.{{cite web | url=http://www.southaustralianhistory.com.au/overlandcorner.htm | title=Overland Corner & The Brand Family | publisher=Flinders Ranges Research | access-date=December 11, 2012}}{{cite web |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/# |title=Placename Details: Overland Corner |id=SA0052782 |work=Property Location Browser |publisher=Land Services, Government of South Australia |date=6 May 2013 |access-date=21 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012010923/http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/ |archive-date=12 October 2016 |url-status=dead }}

When the New South Wales gold rush began in 1851, Overland Corner developed as a point where timber was supplied to fuel paddle steamers taking prospectors up the Murray River. A small police post was established in Overland Corner in 1855, built by Edward Bate Scott. It closed in 1894. A school was opened and remained open until at least 1904.

The historic Overland Corner Hotel was built in 1859. It closed in 1897 but still stands, reopened in 1965, at the centre of what is now the National Trust of South Australia's Overland Corner Reserve.{{cite web|url=http://www.nationaltrust.org.au/sa/overland-corner-reserve|title=Overland Corner Reserve|publisher=National Trust of Australia|access-date=13 December 2012}}{{cite web |title=Search results for "Overland Corner Reserve, Resv" with the following datasets selected - 'Suburbs and Localities' and 'Gazetteer' |url=http://location.sa.gov.au/viewer/?map=roads&x=140.29823&y=-34.17442&z=11&uids=19,105&pinx=140.338937&piny=-34.153962&pinTitle=Location&pinText=Overland+Corner+Reserve,+Resv |website=Location SA Map Viewer |publisher=Government of South Australia |access-date=4 December 2018}} It is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.{{cite web | url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/heritagesearch/HeritageItem.aspx?p_heritageno=16371 | title=Overland Corner Hotel | publisher=Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources | work=South Australian Heritage Register | access-date=28 May 2016}}

Boundaries were created on 12 August 1999 for the "long established name" which included the former Overland Corner Shack Site and the former Lock 3 Shack Site. On 26 April 2013, "unincorporated land" was added to the locality.

Pooginook is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of Chaffey and the local government areas of the Berri Barmera Council and the Pastoral Unincorporated Area.
