Bundey is a locality in the Mid North region of South Australia. It is located on Goyder's Line, on the plains between Burra and Morgan in the Regional Council of Goyder.[1]

The bounded locality of Bundey corresponds to the boundaries of the Hundred of Bundey, except for the southwestern corner of the Hundred which is the northeastern corner of the locality of Geranium Plains.[2] Bundey was named in 1878 for William Henry Bundey, MP.[2]

Bundey Immanuel Lutheran Church was established in the 1880s. The first building was pug and daub. After storm damage, a more substantial building of limestone and bricks replaced it.[3] This building is now an abandoned ruin. The church building also served as a school during the week, with lessons in a mixture of German and English.[4]
