Murtoa is a wheat district town in Victoria, Australia, situated around Lake Marma on the Wimmera Highway, 305 kilometres (190 mi) north-west of the state capital, Melbourne. The town is in the Shire of Yarriambiack local government area. At the 2006 census, Murtoa had a population of 912.

The name Murtoa is believed to come from a local Aboriginal word meaning "home of the lizard". Murtoa's post office opened on 1 August 1874.

The working section of the present day Murtoa silos can hold up to 400,000 tonnes of grain.

Because wheat could not be exported during the Second World War, a stick grain shed, 260m long and 60m wide, was built from 640 unmilled tree trunks in 1941. The sticks were sunk in earth and a concrete slab poured around it. This impressive cathedral-like structure has a partially collapsed roof and has been declared unsafe to enter. A cyclone rated wire net has been placed over the roof to contain any potential collapse. The stick shed is heritage listed and, in October 2008, the Victorian government allocated funds to upgrade it. Some have considered a potential upgraded use of the stick shed as a tourist attraction, however Murtoa's isolated location and the fact that the shed is situated amongst a working wheat silo have caused commentators to question the viability of this idea.

A larger stick shed and a third incomplete stick shed adjacent to the first (remaining) one were demolished in the past.

In 2007 the drought took effect on Murtoa's lake, Lake Marma, and it dried up. Once home to many species of birds and animals, it is now a common mistake to believe it has been dry for decades.
