White Cliffs is a small town in outback New South Wales in Australia, in Central Darling Shire. White Cliffs is around 255 km northeast of Broken Hill, 93 km north of Wilcannia.

Precious opal mining field. Renowned for Pineapple Opals.

In the western part of the area, eg near Karunnera and Spring Hill, some sparse diamonds have been found, possibly related to some kimberlite diatremes, mafic dykes and ultramafic lamprophyre intrusions (Bottrill & Neef, 1988).
