List of diplomatic missions of Australia

Australia's diplomatic missions have a key focus on Commonwealth, Asian, and Pacific Islander countries.

After federation in 1901, Australia's presence abroad was largely limited to state and Commonwealth agents and trade offices.

The United Kingdom played a defining role in Australia's foreign policy, limiting its need for missions abroad.

In 1939 there were only two External Affairs officers posted overseas: one in London (known as Australia House), and one in Washington attached to the British Embassy.

Missions have been closed in Almaty, Damascus, Kupang, Lusaka, Algiers, Cape Town, Dar es Salaam, and Bridgetown.
