The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust is an Australian Trust established in 1965, the year in which Sir Winston Churchill died. The principal object of the Trust is to perpetuate and honour the memory of Sir Winston Churchill by the award of Travelling Fellowships known as a Churchill Fellowship.

A Churchill Fellowship allows the recipient an opportunity, through the provision of financial support, for Australian citizens to travel overseas to undertake analysis, study or investigation of a project or issue that cannot be readily undertaken in Australia. The average Fellowship in 2006 was AUD$25,000. Applicants must be 18 years of age, and be able to undertake a minimum of 4 weeks overseas travel to complete their research.

An implication taken from the award of a Fellowship is that the recipient is a leader or has potential leadership in their field of endeavour, and that the Fellowship will strengthen their usefulness to society.
