The Waterside Workers' Federation of Australia (WWF) was an Australian trade union that existed from 1902 to 1993.[1] After a period of negotiations between other Australian maritime unions, it was federated in 1902 and first federally registered in 1907; its first general president was Billy Hughes.

In 1993 the WWF merged with the Seamen's Union of Australia to form the Maritime Union of Australia.[1]
