The National Indian Film Festival of Australia (NIFFA) is an annual film festival established in 2025 to celebrate Indian cinema in Australia. Organised in collaboration with the Australian Centre for Indian Cinema, NIFFA is described as Australia's first and only national celebration of Indian cinema. It aims to showcase the diversity of Indian filmmaking, including independent, regional, and diaspora films, and to strengthen bilateral screen and cultural ties.

The inaugural edition took place between 13 February and 2 March 2025, in seven Australian cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, and the Gold Coast. Over 40 films were screened, including three world premieres and 36 Australian premieres. The opening night film was Superboys of Malegaon by Reema Kagti, and the closing film was Roam Rome Mein by Tannishtha Chatterjee. A retrospective on Shyam Benegal was also included.
