The Osborne Naval Shipyard is a Royal Australian Navy multi-user facility on the Lefevre Peninsula, at Osborne, South Australia. It is the largest and most advanced naval shipbuilding facility in Australia. The facility has produced a range of major surface combatants and submerged vessels such as Destroyers, Frigates, Patrol boats and Submarines for the Royal Australian Navy fleet.

The facility was established in 1987 for the Australian Submarine Corporation to construct six Collins-Class submarines. Since then, it has expanded significantly, incorporating a vast array of technology and facilities as the main supplier of naval vessels to the RAN. The Osborne Naval Shipyard is widely regarded as one of the most technologically advanced naval ship building facilities in the world, with "digital twin" ship building methods. The shipyard will notably be constructing SSN-AUKUS Submarines from 2030s onwards, as the primary manufacturing hub of the trilateral AUKUS announcment in 2021. The facility currently administers Collins-class submarine full-cycle docking and 'Life of Type' extension program, aswell as the controversial Hunter-class frigate program and Arafura-class offshore patrol vessels.
