Puckapunyal is an Australian Army training facility and base located to the south east of Seymour, Victoria.

The area was first used as a mobilisation and training area during World War I. During the early 1920s, an ordinance store and rifle range were built on the site. In 1939, the area was formally established as Puckapunyal Camp: the name was taken from the Aboriginal name for a large hill within the training area, which has been variously translated as "death to the eagle", "the outer barbarians", "the middle hill", "place of exile", and "valley of the winds". The base was used to train the Second Australian Imperial Force, as other Army establishments were at capacity training Militia units. The original site was too small for wartime training, and an additional 14,000 acres (5,700 ha) were acquired. As well as Australian units, the United States Army's 41st Infantry Division trained at Puckapunyal.

In 1949, the 1st Armoured Regiment was raised at Puckapunyal. The regiment remained based at Puckapunyal until it relocation to Darwin in June 1995.

During the 1950s, Puckapunyal was host to the 3rd National Service Training Brigade (see National Service Act 1951).

During the 1960s and 1970s, the base was used by the 2nd Recruit Training Battalion to train national servicemen (see National Service Act 1964). Up to 4,000 soldiers were at Puckapunyal at any given time.

In the 1980s, the Army undertook a land rehabilitation program, as decades of heavy use had caused major land degradation.

By 1988, subsequent land acquisitions had increased the training area to 39,290 hectares (97,100 acres).

During 1999 and 2000, refugees from Kosovo and East Timor were housed in the former National Service trainee barracks.

As of 2008, Puckapunyal is home to the Australian Army's School of Armour, the School of Artillery, and the School of Transport and Ordinance, along with the Combined Arms Training and Development Centre, the Joint Logistics Unit, and two transport squadrons. The Royal Australian Armoured Corps Memorial and Museum is located on the base's grounds, and the facilities are used by the Victorian Australian Army Cadets Brigade.
