The Commission of Inquiry into the Queensland floods is an Australian inquiry set up by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deadly 2010-2011 Queensland floods. The independent Inquiry will be headed by Justice Cate Holmes and is expected to cost A$15 million. Holmes will examine the disaster, government preparedness and the emergency response.

The Inquiry will be able to summon witnesses, demand documents and issue search warrants. The final report was initially due on the 17 January 2012. This was extended into February due to the quantity of material which has to be processed and analysed. The deadline for submissions was extended to 15 June to allow for submission related to insurance companies.

An interim report is due to be handed down on 1 August 2011.
