Australian–Kosovan relations are foreign relations between Australia and the Republic of Kosovo, a disputed region which is considered by a majority of countries to be an integral part of Serbia.

The Assembly of Kosovo unilaterally declared the independence of the United Nations administered territory from Serbia as the Republic of Kosovo on 17 February 2008 and Australia became the first country in Oceania to recognise the state on 19 February 2008.^[1] The decision to recognise the Republic of Kosovo was made despite Australian commentators like Michael McKinley claiming it could adversely affect relations with Russia, China, Romania and Spain.^[2] On the day Kosovo declared independence, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said that "We've already indicated to our diplomatic representatives around the world that this (independence) would be an appropriate course of action".^[3] Milivoje Glisic, the Serbian ambassador to Australia, called the declaration of independence illegal, and he was recalled to Belgrade by the Serbian government for consultations on 20 February 2008.^[4]^[5] The Republic of Kosovo and Australia established diplomatic relations on 21 May 2008.^[6]

Australia's Ambassador to Kosovo is subordinate to the Embassy in Vienna, Austria.^[7] Australia supports the rights and safety of minorities in Kosovo and the protection of cultural heritage sites in Kosovo.^[8]
