The Hottest 100 Australian Albums of All Time represents a fan-driven ranking organized by the Australian broadcaster Triple J. This poll took place during June and July 2011, initiated by Triple J's music director Richard Kingsmill in May of the same year to determine the leading 100 albums created by Australian musicians.
Voting was open from 6 until 26 June, followed by a two-week broadcast of the countdown between 28 June and 10 July. The Brisbane-based group Powderfinger claimed the top spot with their 2000 release, Odyssey Number Five, which featured two tracks that had previously topped the Hottest 100 charts.
Throughout the countdown, Triple J aired a selection of tracks and several complete albums, including every album ranked within the top twenty.
