Afghan cameleers in Australia, also known as "Afghans" (Pashto: افغانان) or "Ghans" (Pashto: غانز), were camel drivers who worked in Outback Australia from the 1860s to the 1930s.

Afghan Australians (Dari: استرالیایی های افغان‌تبار Ostorâliyâi-hāye Afghān tabar, Pashto: د اسټرالیا افغانان Da Asṭrālyā Afghanan) are Australians tied to Afghanistan either by birth or by ancestry. The first Afghans who migrated to Australia arrived mid 19th century as cameleers. Over subsequent decades, they played a crucial role in facilitating British exploration of the country's desert centre. The Australian government categorises Afghanistan and all Afghan ethnic groups as Central Asian Australians. In the 2021 Census, the top-three states with the largest Afghan-born were Victoria (25,432), New South Wales (14,623) and South Australia (8,214).
