Copeville is a settlement in South Australia.[1] At the 2006 census, Copeville had a population of 141.[2] It was established as a town on the Waikerie railway line, but the line has closed and the town has declined. The bulk grain silos are still at the railway station, but do not operate every grain season.[3][4] There was once a Methodist church in Copeville. It joined the Karoonda circuit in 1966.[5]
