Bunnings Group Limited, trading as Bunnings Warehouse or Bunnings, is an Australian hardware and garden centre chain. The chain has been owned by Wesfarmers since 1994, and has stores in Australia and New Zealand.

Bunnings was founded in Bunbury, Western Australia in 1886, by brothers Arthur and Robert Bunning, who had emigrated from England. Initially, a limited company focused on sawmilling, it became a public company in 1952 and subsequently expanded into the retail sector, purchasing several hardware stores. Bunnings began to expand into other states in the 1990s and opened its first warehouse-style store in Melbourne in 1994.

As of 2025, the chain had 382 stores across Australia and New Zealand and over 53,000 employees. The Bunnings Group also includes 17 Tool Kit Depot and 112 Beaumont Tiles stores. Bunnings has a 68% market share in the Australian do it yourself hardware market; competing chains include Mitre 10, Home Hardware and various independent retailers around Australia. Bunnings had the title of Australia's most trusted brand until 2020.

Bunnings runs community events outside or in its stores, including sausage sizzles and do it yourself workshops.
