The Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia (TCFUA) was a trade union in Australia. It represented a wide range of workers from the textile, clothing, footwear and felt hatting industries.

The TCFUA was formed 1 July 1992 by the merger of the Amalgamated Footwear & Textile Workers' Union of Australia and the Clothing & Allied Trades Union of Australia. It was affiliated with the Australian Council of Trade Unions. In 2018, the TCFUA merged into the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union.[1]
