Wisden Cricketers' Almanack Australia (also known as Wisden Australia) is a cricket annual and reference book, the Australian version of the famous Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. It is published at the beginning of the Australian season, around early December. In contrast to the yellow original, it is bright green, and it is also somewhat slimmer and cheaper, as there are fewer games to report on in Australia; otherwise, the format and content are similar to those of its older relative.

The first two editions, dated 1998 and 1999, covered the 1997-98 and 1998-99 Australian seasons, respectively; since the third edition, dated 2000-01 and which covered the 1999-2000 Australian season, each edition has borne the date of the season immediately after the season covered (as is the tradition for the original Wisden).

Wisden Cricketers' Almanack Australia is now, as of 2005, in its eighth edition.
