Puerto Rican Australian (Spanish: "Puertorriqueño Australiano") is an Australian with ancestry of Puerto Rico.

The first Puerto Ricans in Australia were involved in the labor movement, including formation of trade unions and Australian Labor Party, in the Federation in 1901. The second group was composed of World War II soldiers to help Australia from Japanese invasion. After the war, most left with their war brides and many of them who came to the war and left remained. After Australia, United States, and New Zealand signed a treaty named ANZUS in 1957 that locked 3 nations into mutual defense agreement, it permitted Puerto Rican settlers to migrate freely to Australia.
