Australian Antarctic territorial waters are international waters claimed by Australia adjacent to the part of Antarctica which it claims as the Australian Antarctic Territory.

Australian Antarctic territorial waters extend 200 nautical miles out to sea from the Australian Antarctic territory.

Australia claims the territorial waters are within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Australian Antarctic territory. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) define the exclusive economic zone of a coastal state as not exceeding 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured.
