Piangil, once frequently spelled "Pyangil", is a town in the Mallee region of northern Victoria, Australia. It is approximately 382 kilometres (237 mi) north-west of the state capital, Melbourne and 46 kilometres (29 mi) north-west of the regional centre of Swan Hill. At the 2016 census, Piangil and the surrounding rural area had a population of 259.[2]

The name of the town is derived from the Piangil pastoral run, taken up in 1846 by William Coghill. It is thought that the name was derived from an Aboriginal word for the Murray cod.[3]

Piangil post office opened on 17 June 1907, and was renamed Piangil North in 1918 when the Piangil post office was relocated adjacent to the railway station. A new Piangil post office opened in 1921 and is still in operation.[4]

Piangil Primary School closed in September 2015.[5]
