Battlelines is a 2009 book by Tony Abbott. The book was published while Abbott was in opposition, four years before he was elected as Prime Minister of Australia in 2013.

The book is partly autobiographical and discusses Abbott's experiences in the Liberal Party of Australia and in the Howard government. The book was written during Abbott's time as a Shadow Minister following the 2007 defeat of the Howard government and prior to Abbott's 2009 Liberal Party leadership election as Leader of the Opposition in the Australian Parliament.
