The Yoorrook Justice Commission was a truth and justice commission established in Victoria, Australia. The Victorian Government committed to the inquiry in July 2020, and it was formally established via Letters Patent in May 2021. This made Victoria the first state or territory to commit to "formally recognise historical wrongs and ongoing injustices" against Aboriginal people.

The commission established an official public record of the experience of Aboriginal Victorians since the start of British colonisation.
