The 1956 Murray River flood involved the rising of waters in the Murray River and flooding of many towns in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. The flood was and still is considered the biggest flood in the recorded history of the Murray and described as "the greatest catastrophe in South Australia's history", although few lives were lost. As a result of the flood, the Menindee Lakes were constructed to store high flows from the Darling River.

Wzrost poziomu wody w rzece spowodował zalanie wielu miast w trzech stanach Australii, m.in.: , , Mannum, Murray Bridge, Mildura, , Red Cliffs, Renmark i . Powódź wystąpiła na skutek opadów w zachodniej części Queensland, które były wyższe od średniej oraz ulewnych deszczów, które przez okres trzech miesięcy nawiedzały region dorzecza rzeki Murray. W mieście (Australia Południowa) woda osiągnęła wysokość 12,3 m. Na niektórych obszarach woda wylała na 100 km od koryta rzeki. (pl)

has abstract	The 1956 Murray River flood involved the rising of waters in the Murray River and flooding of many towns in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. The flood was and still is considered the biggest flood in the recorded history of the Murray and described as "the greatest catastrophe in South Australia's history", although few lives were lost. The flood occurred due to higher than average rainfalls in Western Queensland and heavy rains in the proceeding three months in the Murray-Darling basin. Flood waters moved down the Murray and Darling rivers for seven months and peaked between 11 and 14 August at Merbein in Victoria and 12.3 metres (40 ft) at Morgan in South Australia. Inflow into South Australia peaked at 341GL a day. From upstream to downstream, flooding occurred in the towns of Wentworth in New South Wales; Colignan, Iraak, Mildura, Nangiloc, and Red Cliffs in Victoria; and many South Australia towns including Renmark, Mannum and Murray Bridge. Some areas were flooded up to 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the natural flow of the river. As a result of the flood, the Menindee Lakes were constructed to store high flows from the Darling River.

Certaines zones ont été inondées jusqu'à 100 kilomètres du cours naturel de la rivière. L'inondation a été et est toujours considérée comme la plus grande inondation de l'histoire du Murray ainsi que « la plus grande catastrophe de l'histoire de l'Australie-Méridionale », bien qu'aucune vie n'ait été perdue. De l'amont à l'aval, des inondations se sont produites dans les villes de Wentworth en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud ; (en), (en), Mildura, (en) et Red Cliffs dans le Victoria ; et Mannum, Murray Bridge et Renmark en Australie-Méridionale en raison du débit élevé de la rivière Darling.

Powódź była i nadal jest uważana za największą powódź w historii dorzecza rzeki Murray oraz opisywana jest jako największa katastrofa w historii stanu Australii Południowej. W wyniku powodzi został zbudowany zbiornik , który gromadzi nadmiar wody z rzeki Darling. (pl)
