Australia's Most Wanted is a television program based on the format made popular by America's Most Wanted. It was screened on the Seven Network as a regular series from 1989 until 1998.^[2][3]

The show was often in the headlines due to its graphic crime scene re-enactments which many deemed too distressing for the show's 7:30pm Monday timeslot.^[4]

After the Seven Network cancelled the series in early 1999, the Nine Network created their own version of the format later that year.^[5] It was unsuccessful and cancelled after six weeks.

Featured presenters on the various incarnations of the show included:

• Don Willesee – 1988 pilot
• Bryan Marshall – 1989^[6]
• Ann Sanders – 1993^[7][8]
• Sarah Henderson – 1994^[9]
• Roger Climpson – 1997–1998
• Alastair Duncan – Voiceover (Seven Network)
• Hugh Riminton and Kim Watkins – 1999 (Nine Network)^[10][5]

During 1993, the regular New South Wales Police representative was Senior Constable Denise Behringer. Jackie Forsyth, the wife of murdered police constable Peter Forsyth, worked as a special reporter in the Nine Network version.^[11]

In 2013, Network Ten re-booted the series calling it Wanted. The hosts were Sandra Sully and Matt Doran.^[12] The show was not a success and was cancelled two months later.
