Linga is a locality situated on the section of the Mallee Highway and Pinnaroo railway line between Ouyen and the South Australian border in the Sunraysia region. It is situated about 8 kilometres east from Boinka and 11 kilometres west from Underbool.

Linga State School (No. 3798) opened on 31 March 1913 in the local hall, with a permanent building erected in 1916. The school closed on 17 December 1970. The building was subsequently sold and relocated to Ouyen.[5]
