New Italy (Italian: Nuova Italia) is a village near Woodburn in the Northern Rivers district in New South Wales, Australia.

In 1882 Italian immigrants from the region of Veneto in northern Italy, most of them survivors of the ill-fated De Rays Expedition, took up a conditional purchase farm of 40 acres (160,000 m2) near Woodburn at what was initially called Cèa Venessia (Little Venice) and later renamed New Italy.

By the mid-1880s, about 50 holdings of an aggregate area of more than 3,000 acres (12 km2) were under occupation, and the Italian population of New Italy had increased to 250.

The Museum presents the history of Italian migration to Australia and the memorabilia from the New Italy settlement.
