The Australian National Committee on Large Dams (abbreviated as ANCOLD) is an Australian-based non-government, non-profit and voluntary association of organisations and individual professionals with a common technical interest in large dams and their environs.[1] ANCOLD is not an advocate for dams but an apolitical industry body that focuses on disseminating knowledge, developing capability and providing guidance on all aspects of dam engineering, management and associated issues.

ANCOLD is a member of the International Commission on Large Dams (or ICOLD).
