The Australian is a broadsheet newspaper published in Australia from Monday to Saturday each week since 14 July 1964.

Available nationally (in each state and territory), The Australian is the biggest-selling national newspaper in the country, with weekday sales of 135,000 and Saturday sales of 305,000, figures substantially below those of top-selling papers in Sydney (The Daily Telegraph), Melbourne (The Herald Sun), and Brisbane (The Courier-Mail).

In May 2010, the newspaper launched the first Australian newspaper iPad app.
