Macedonian Australian is a significant ethnic group in Australia. The 2001 census recorded 43,527 Macedonian born persons in Australia, although this excludes persons of Macedonian ethnicity born elsewhere, mainly Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania.

The Macedonian Australian community is evident in most major Australian cities with notable communities in Wollongong (arguably the largest), Newcastle, outer suburbs of Melbourne and Perth and southern and the south-western suburbs of Sydney.

The same census recorded 81,898 declaring Macedonian ancestry and 71,994 speaking the Macedonian language at home.

Most Macedonian Australians are of the Macedonian Orthodox faith, although some belong to other Christian churches and there are a small number of Muslims.
