Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO /ˈeɪzioʊ/) 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.^[2][3] ASIO sama seperti Security Service (MI5) di Britania Raya dan Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) di Amerika Serikat.^[4] 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.^[4]

ASIO Central Office terletak di Canberra. ASIO memiliki kantor daerah di setiap ibu kota negara bagian dan wilayah.^[5] Central Office yang baru, Ben Chifley Building, dibangun dengan biaya A$630 juta.
