Led Zeppelin's 1972 Australasian Tour was the first and only concert tour of Australia and New Zealand by the English rock band. The tour commenced on February 16 and concluded on February 29, 1972.

The original plan for this tour was for the group to stop off en route at Singapore for a concert on February 14, but the local authorities refused their entry due to local laws banning the wearing of long hair by men.[1]

Led Zeppelin received generally good press coverage for this tour and black and white footage of some of their concert at Sydney on February 27, along with a press party, were filmed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and shown to a national audience.[1] Some of this footage was later made available on the Led Zeppelin DVD, released in 2003.
