Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO ) adalah badan keamanan nasional Australia yang bertugas melindungi negara dan warganya dari spionase, sabotase, campur tangan asing, kekerasan bermuatan politik, serangan terhadap sistem pertahanan Australia, dan terorisme. ASIO sama seperti Security Service (MI5) di Britania Raya dan Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) di Amerika Serikat. ASIO adalah bagian dari Australian Intelligence Community.
ASIO memiliki kekuasaan pengintaian untuk mengumpulkan intelijen manusia (HUMINT) dan intelijen sinyal (SIGINT). Operasi ASIO yang memerlukan kekuasaan polisi dengan surat perintah penangkapan & penahanan dikoordinasikan dengan Australian Federal Police dan/atau kepolisian negara bagian dan wilayah.
ASIO Central Office terletak di Canberra. ASIO memiliki kantor daerah di setiap ibu kota negara bagian dan wilayah. Central Office yang baru, Ben Chifley Building, dibangun dengan biaya A$630 juta. Nama gedung ini diambil dari nama perdana menteri yang mendirikan ASIO, Ben Chifley. Gedung ini secara resmi dibuka oleh Perdana Menteri Kevin Rudd pada tanggal 23 Juli 2013.
