The National Socialist Network (NSN) is an Australian neo-Nazi political organisation formed from two far-right organisations, the Lads Society and the Antipodean Resistance, in 2020. The organisation, based in Melbourne, claims to be active in all six state capitals and several regional cities. The group has used the protests against COVID-19 policies and other methods, such as media manipulation and attention-grabbing, to recruit new members.

The organisation, whose membership is unknown, is led by Thomas Sewell, neo-Nazi, convicted criminal and former Australian soldier. The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism released a report on 5 October 2022, in which it classified the National Socialist Network as a "white nationalist", "antisemitic", and "neo-Nazi" group.
