Wonna is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder.^[1] The modern locality was established in August 2000 when boundaries were formalised for the long established local name.^[2]

The cadastral Hundred of Wonna was proclaimed by Governor William Jervois on 31 October 1878.^[3] The modern locality covers a little over half of the hundred at the southern end, while also including a significant rural portion of the adjacent Hundred of Terowie; the remainder of the Hundred of Wonna is now in Franklyn.^[1]

A government town named "Mallett" was surveyed in March 1880, but it was not successful and was declared to have ceased to exist on 16 May 1929.^[4]

The historic Mungibbie Homestead is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the district and is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register, as is a nineteenth-century former smokehouse off Wonna Road.^[5][6]
