The New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (DPI) was an agency of the New South Wales Government, responsible for the administration and development for agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture, forestry, and biosecurity in New South Wales. The DPI worked to drive innovation in primary industries to improve resilience, productivity and sustainability, and to ensure risks are managed for natural resources, farming and food.

Despite the name, the DPI was no longer a department of the New South Wales government from July 2011 until its abolition. The DPI was part of the Department of Regional NSW (which was a government department) since April 2020, and was previously part of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.^[1] On 1 July 2024, the DPI was abolished and merged into the Department of Regional NSW, with the latter renamed Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.^[2][3]

The DPI headquarters was located in Orange.
