Australian Art Collector is a quarterly art magazine. It primarily covers Australian contemporary and Indigenous art, but also occasionally features New Zealand and international artists.

It is most well known for the annual feature "50 of Australia's Most Collectable Artists", which is referenced by other sources and collectors.[1][2] For a decade the list was compiled by a panel of industry experts, but since 2009 the list has been voted on by magazine subscribers.[3]
Art collectors featured in the magazine have included Simon Mordant, Corbett & Yueji Lyon (Lyon Housemuseum) and John Kaldor.
Australian Art Collector was founded by Gadfly Media in 1997 in Sydney, Australia. Shortly after its foundation the magazine was briefly in the news when text from one of its articles was used without acknowledgement by art critic Robert Hughes, when writing for Time magazine.[4]
In 2009, Australian Art Collector published its first "Guide to Aboriginal Art Centres". In the same year it also published the "Guide to Public & Regional Galleries" and the "Collector's Guidebook", a directory of services for art collectors.
