List of Pakistani Australians
This is a list of Pakistani Australians. It includes Australian citizens and permanent residents of Pakistani ancestry, Pakistani-origin first generation immigrants who were naturalised with Australian citizenship, as well as expatriates who are known to have resided in Australia. The list is sorted alphabetically by the individuals' professions or fields of activity to which they have notably made contributions, such as academia and education, early history, entertainment, politics, religion, science and technology, sports, literature and the arts.
