(ATN) is an alliance of five Australian universities of technology. Each receives more media attention and first preferences than the other "universities of technology" in their respective states.

The ATN’s stated aim is to help secure Australia’s reputation as a smart country, and contribute to its social and economic wealth, while championing the principles of access and equity that have ensured its members are the universities of first choice for students. All of ATN's universities are featured in the The Times Higher Education Supplement World University Rankings.

The group was founded in 1999, though it's predecessor, the "Directors of the Central Institutes of Technology" (DOCIT) was founded in May 1975. This organisation became dormant in 1982.

The Australian Technology Network comprises five Australian universities, each based in a different state of Australia:
