The Australian Ambassador to Jordan is the Australian Government's foremost diplomatic representative in Jordan. The Ambassador resides in Amman.[1]

Australia’s diplomatic relations with Jordan began when Pierre Hutton, then Ambassador to Lebanon, was accredited as non-resident Ambassador to Jordan on 29 April 1975.[1] A Jordan post was opened in Amman in 1979 with D.B. Wadham named as Chargé d'Affaires while the then non-resident Ambassador, H.N. Truscott, remained in Lebanon.[1] The first resident Ambassador was appointed in 1982, a move in part to ensure that Australia could be more fully informed about developments in the Middle East.[2]

The current Ambassador to Jordan is Miles Armitage.
