The Industrial Court of New South Wales was a court within the Australian court hierarchy that exercised the judicial functions of the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales within the Australian state of New South Wales. The Commission has exclusive jurisdiction in respect of industrial disputes in that state.

The primary courtrooms were located in the Chief Secretary’s Building in Macquarie Street, Sydney central business district.

The Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales consisted of both judicial and non-judicial members, and its members could exercise the arbitration powers of the commission. However, only the Commission sitting "in Court Session" could exercise the judicial functions of the commission.[2] When the commission sat as the "Commission in Court Session", it was referred to and was known as the "Industrial Court of New South Wales". Only a judicial member could hear matters where such relief was sought from the Court.[3]
