This is a list of highest-certified singles in Australia according to the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). Since 1983, ARIA certifies a single Platinum for shipment of 70,000 copies across Australia. Single figures can include "qualifying streams" since July 2015. Since March 2022 this also includes Official Content streams on YouTube. According to the ARIA rules, a "single" is a product that may include up to five songs, thus including various EPs, which are also listed here.
All singles in this list must have won at least 10× ARIA Platinum Awards (700,000 copies). Prior to 1989, the values of the certifications were different, and a dearth of published data has made it difficult to source earlier release numbers.
The highest certified song in Australia is the 2011 "Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra, certified 26× Platinum, denoting 1,820,000 equivalent units.
