Beenleigh is a town and suburb in the City of Logan, Queensland, Australia.[2][3] In the 2021 census, the suburb of Beenleigh had a population of 8,425 people.[1]

A government survey for the new town was conducted in 1866. The town is the terminus for the Beenleigh railway line, which first opened in 1885 and a stop on the South Coast railway line, which reached Southport in 1889. Beenleigh was the administrative centre of the former Shire of Albert. It is known for the heritage-listed tourist attraction called the Beenleigh Artisan Distillery. In recent years it has seen many high rise developments.
