Baddaginnie is a small town in Victoria, Australia. It is located on the Albury-Wodonga railway line, in the Rural City of Benalla, 12 kilometres south-west of Benalla itself on the old Hume highway. It is situated in mainly flat unforested country, one kilometre west of the Baddaginnie Creek. At the 2006 census, Baddaginnie and the surrounding area had a population of 460.[1]
The town was surveyed in 1857. It is believed to be named after the Sinhala word meaning "hungry" by the surveyor, as the survey team was without food when it arrived.
George "Joey" Palmer, the 1880s Australian test cricketer died here on 22 August 1910.
