特種作戰司令部(英語:Special Operations Command,簡稱:SOCOMD)是澳洲國防軍傘下的特種部隊指揮架構。它是於2003年5月5日仿效美國特種作戰司令部(USSOCOM)和英國特種部隊(UKSF)建立,目的是要為澳洲陸軍的各支特種部隊建立一個統一的司令部。該司令部於2008年開始正式運作[3][4][5],由擔任“澳洲特種作戰指揮官”(英語:Special Operations Commander Australia,簡稱:SOCAUST)的陸軍少將負責指揮[3]。
SOCOMD的根源最早可追溯到1979年,當時澳洲陸軍組建了一支小規模的“陸軍特別行動部隊”(Directorate Special Action Forces—Army),他們後來於1990年2月13日成立了“特種部隊總部”(Headquarters Special Forces),該部門於1997年改名為“特種作戰總部”(Headquarters Special Operations),並於2003年再改為現在的“特種作戰司令部”(Special Operations Command)[5][6][7]。
