Australian Indian Ocean Territories is the name since 1995 of an administrative unit under the Australian Department of Transportation and Regional Services, consisting of two islands groups in the Indian Ocean under Australian sovereignty:

• Christmas Island, where the Administrator resides
• Cocos (Keeling) Islands archipelago, where he is nominally also Administrator but does not reside.

Each of these island components has its own Shire Council.

It does not include the uninhabited Ashmore and Cartier Islands
