Kintore is a remote settlement in the Kintore Range of the Northern Territory of Australia about 530 km west of Alice Springs and 40 km from the border with Western Australia. At the 2016 census, Kintore had a population of 410, of which 376 identified themselves as Aboriginal Australians.
The Kintore Range was named by William Tietkens during his expedition of 1889 after the Governor of South Australia, Algernon Keith-Falconer, 9th Earl of Kintore.
In 1979 and 1980 satisfactory water was found in four bores sunk at and near the Kintore Range. In mid-1981 an outstation was established there and developed as a resource centre for camps elsewhere in the region, allowing the reoccupation of at least some of the Pintupi country. The community was founded in 1981, when many Pintupi people who lived in the community of Papunya became unhappy with their circumstances in what they saw as foreign country, and decided to move back to their own country, from which they had been forcibly removed decades earlier due to weapons testing from Woomera in South Australia, as part of the outstation movement.
Kintore is overseen by the MacDonnell Regional Council, which is based in Alice Springs.
