Ethiopian Australians (Amharic: ኢትዮጵያውያን አውስትራሊያውያን, romanized: ītiyop'iyawiyani āwisitiralīyawiyani) are immigrants from Ethiopia to Australia and their descendants.

[8] Ethiopian refugees who would later settle in Australia began fleeing their home country as early as the 1970s, following the rise to power of the Derg regime.

[3] Late in the following year, 350 more Ethiopians from the Abu Rakham camp in Sudan, largely single or widowed mothers and their families, were resettled in Australia.

[9] This made them the 15th-largest group of Ethiopian-born people in a country outside of Ethiopia, ahead of the United Arab Emirates and behind Norway.

[12] About 85% of those lived in Melbourne, alongside communities of immigrants from other countries in the Horn of Africa, mainly Eritrea and Somalia; they are primarily settled in Footscray and neighbouring suburbs such as Ascot Vale, Braybrook, Flemington, Kensington, and Sunshine.

[14] In Footscray, some have set up ethnic-oriented businesses, such as hair salons, clothing shops, and restaurants with a mostly Ethiopian customer base.
