New South Wales (abbreviated as NSW) is Australia's most populous state, located in the south-east of the country, north of Victoria and south of Queensland. It was founded in 1788 and originally comprised much of the Australian mainland, as well as Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. During the 19th century large areas were successively separated to form the British colonies of Tasmania (1825) South Australia (1836), Victoria (1855), and Queensland (1859). In 1901 these colonies plus Western Australia federated to form Commonwealth of Australia.

New South Wales is known the world over for the picturesque harbour of its capital, Sydney, Australia's oldest and largest city and a centre of international finance. Two-thirds of NSW's population lives in Sydney. Sydney was the host city of the 2000 Olympic Summer Games.

An inhabitant of New South Wales is referred to as a New South Welshman or, in gender-neutral language, as a New South Welsh person.

When James Cook named the area on the east coast of Australia, New South Wales it is unknown whether or not he was referring to a new area that resembled South Wales, or a new southern version of Wales.

New South Wales' three main cities from north to south are Newcastle, Sydney, and Wollongong, which all lie along the coast. Other notable settlements include Albury, Broken Hill, Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst, Port Macquarie, Tamworth, Armidale, Inverell, Lismore, Nowra, Gosford, Griffith, Queanbeyan, Leeton, Wagga Wagga, Goulburn and Coffs Harbour.

New South Wales can be divided geographically into four sections:

1. A coastal strip, with climates warming from cool temperate on the far south coast to subtropical near the Queensland border, including the regions south of Sydney such as the Illawarra, the Shoalhaven near Nowra, Newcastle, the Central Coast and the North Coast.

2. The mountainous areas of the Great Dividing Range and the high country surrounding them. Whilst not particularly steep, many peaks rise above 1000 m, with the highest Mount Kosciuszko at 2229 m (7308 ft). This includes the Southern Highlands, Central Tablelands and the New England regions.

3. The agricultural plains that fill a significant portion of the state's area, with a much sparser population than the coast, includes the Riverina area around Wagga Wagga.

4. The arid plains in the far north-west of the state, which feature few small settlements. ()
