The Hundred of Kulpara is a cadastral unit of hundred located on the northern Yorke Peninsula in South Australia and centred on the township of Kulpara. It is one of the 16 hundreds of the County of Daly[1] and was proclaimed by Governor Dominick Daly on 12 June 1862.[2]

The hundred was named for a Kulpara Pastoral Station, a pastoral lease in the area in the mid-1800s. The name Kulpara is thought to derive from an indigenous term meaning 'water in the head'. Apart from the town of Kulpara, the hundred also contains the localities of Paskeville, Melton and South Hummocks.
