The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC), founded in 1964 as Australian Federation of Islamic Societies (AFIS) and also known as Muslims Australia, is a not-for-profit umbrella organisation to represent Sunni Muslims across Australia.

It is not to be confused with the Australian National Imams Council, which generally nominates the Grand Mufti of Australia.
