The National Anti-Corruption Commission, often shortened to the NACC, is an independent federal Australian agency that was created under the National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022.

The commission is designed to combat corrupt conduct from public officials employed in the Australian Public Service (APS), including politicians and civil servants.

It is independent of government and has the power to initiate its own investigations. It can also receive tip-offs from whistleblowers and the public.

The NACC replaced the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity and began operations on 1 July 2023.
