Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War (1962–1975) was one of the most significant and controversial military engagements in the country's history. It began with a small commitment of 30 military advisers in 1962 and escalated to a peak of 7,672 personnel following the government's decision to increase support for South Vietnam. Over 60,000 Australians served in the war, with 521 killed and more than 3,000 wounded.

The war was deeply divisive in Australia, sparking widespread protests, particularly due to the government's policy of conscription. Many Australians opposed the war, leading to some of the largest anti-war demonstrations in the nation's history. Australia's withdrawal began in 1970, and by 1973, all combat troops had left Vietnam, though some personnel remained for embassy security and humanitarian efforts.

The Vietnam War had lasting effects on Australian society, influencing foreign policy, military strategy, and public attitudes toward war and government decisions.
