Each year since it was established in 1998, Wisden Australia has selected one Australian cricketer as Wisden Australia's Cricketer of the Year. The award recognises the selected player's contribution to cricket in Australia in the previous season, in a similar manner to the Wisden Cricketers of the Year, selected by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack based on their influence on the game in England.

Uniquely, the first award was made to a women's cricketer, Belinda Clark. As of October 2005, no other female cricket player has become a Wisden Cricketer of the Year or a Wisden Australia's Cricketer of the Year.
