Zeehan mineral field is a mining area near Zeehan in Western Tasmania, Australia.

The field is frequently associated with the short lived shallow silver deposits in the field,[1][2][3][4] which peaked in the 1890s[5] and early 1900s, and had faded by the time of the First World War.[6]

The field has a complex set of orebodies[7][8] and minerals, and continues to be explored to the present.[9][10]

It is surrounded by long term mined and well searched areas – the Dundas[11] and North-East Dundas[12] fields to the east, and the North[13] and South Heemskirk[14] fields to the west.

Trams, smelters and concentrating mills were spread throughout the field over the 1890s and early 1900s.[15]
