Australians Against Further Immigration (AAFI) was an Australian political party which described itself as "eco-nationalist" and was against positive net immigration. The party was founded in 1989 and registered in 1990. It ceased to exist in 2008.

AAFI regularly stood candidates at both state and federal level, but never won a seat. The party said it was a mainstream organisation, and to distance itself from extremist organisations such as the Australian League of Rights and from the Citizens Electoral Council.^[1] The far-left Green Left Weekly called it racist.^[2] In 1994, Franca Arena, a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, denounced them in the New South Wales parliament.

The party was deregistered by the Australian Electoral Commission in December 2005, as lacking the minimum required members in order to be registered as a political party.^[3] It contested the 2007 New South Wales state election, but was deregistered at the state level not long after.^[4]
