Sinagra is a suburb located in the northern part of Perth, Western Australia. It is part of the City of Wanneroo.
This area used to be part of the larger suburb of Wanneroo. Sinagra got its name from the Sinagra family. They were people who moved from Italy and arrived in the Wanneroo area in the 1920s. Many families from Sinagra, Sicily moved to Wanneroo to start a new life. Because of this, the City of Wanneroo created a special "sister city" friendship with Sinagra, Sicily. Sam Sinagra, a member of the family, owned a shop in Wanneroo. The Sinagra family were important and well-known people in the community. The name "Sinagra" for the suburb was officially approved on 3 April 1995.
