Kogan is a town and locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, and is located southwest of Warra.
The town of Kogan is in the north-west of the locality, and is situated on the Kogan Creek.
The name Kogan derives from an early pastoral run called Kogan Creek. The name probably comes from 'Kogai', one of the Aboriginal tribes from the district.
