List of historical political parties in Australia
This article lists historical political parties in Australia.
These are Australian political parties which are no longer registered with any federal, state or territory political bodies, and can thus no longer contest elections. A number of these may still exist as organisations in some form, however, if they are inactive as a political party they are listed here. For notable political parties that are not registered but remain active, see unregistered political parties. Historical names of defunct and current parties are not included in the list as they are not separate entities.
