Jimboomba is a town of approximately 1400 persons, as recorded in the 2001 census, in south-eastern Queensland, Australia, on the Mount Lindesay Highway 47 km south of Brisbane. Its main purpose is to support a primary school, fire and ambulance services, a police station, domestic shopping and medical-dental services for the surrounding, largely, rural residential properties. It has a small industrial area that provides services for vehicles, irrigation and home water supplies, produce supplies, light manufacturing and landscape gardening.

Cattle grazing, dairy farming and hobby farms are the main industries. There are large numbers of horses kept on or near residential properties for riding for pleasure and competition.

Jimboomba was serviced by the Bethania-Beaudesert branch railway line that was established to service the abattoir in Beaudesert. The line was closed in 1992 and then reopened and operated as far as Logan Village by railway enthusiasts from 1999 until mid-2004. Because of fire-damage to a stream over-bridge (immediately south of Jimboomba) and lack of funds the line has a difficult future.

Due to the expansion of the Brisbane conurbation it is not inconceivable that Jimboomba could become an outer suburb of Brisbane one day, most probably as part of Logan City. However the recent Draft South East Queensland Regional Plan shows all of the northern part of Beaudesert Shire as an "investigation Area" because of the large area around Jimboomba that has been allocated to rural residential A and B, meaning that the planners do not know what to do with low-density residential areas. Officially, they believe that providing services to such areas is difficult in the extreme and they do not want to allow such development to continue but they do not want to compensate present owners so that residential densities can be increased.
