Cuban Australians (Spanish: cubanos australianos) are Australians whose full or partial ancestry can be traced back to Cuba.

2,165 Cuban Australians were residing in Australia as of 2024, of whom 1,050 had been born in Cuba, whereas some other 1,114 people include those who were born in Australia and those who were born elsewhere abroad and claimed either partial or full Cuban ancestry.

The Cuban immigration to Australia goes back to the early 1980s, to a point where millions of Cubans left Cuba during the takeover of Fidel Castro's regime for many other countries worldwide, of whom many have settled in Oceania, mainly in Australia.

Between 2018 and 2023, 71 new Cuban-born individuals were registered into the country, between 2023 and 2024, 30 new Cuban-born nationals were residing in the country, with major concentrations of settlement along the eastern coast.

Most Cuban Australians are concentrated in New South Wales, from the Greater Sydney area to Campbelltown, New South Wales,, where are hosted the fastest growing populations, followed by the states of Queensland and Victoria (state), with the cities of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Queensland and Melbourne hosting other significant concentrations among all other surrounding areas.

Western Australia is ranked fourth state with a significant growing population of Cuban Australians, due to especially a significant number of Cubans who happen to be enrolled in the medication field.
