Australia-Germany relations are the historical and bilateral relations between the Commonwealth of Australia and the Federal Republic of Germany, both nations shared values of democracy and human rights, substantial commercial links, and a keen interest in each other's culture. As part of a strategic partnership concluded in 2013, both nations are also increasingly cooperating on security policy issues. Both countries also maintain diplomatic relations in each other's countries.

In December 2001, Australian Department of Foreign Affairs estimated that there were 15,000 Australian citizens resident in Germany. There were many German missionaries who emigrated to Australia, established mission stations and worked with Aboriginal Australians, in some cases helping to preserve their languages and culture.
