The Littoral Rainforests of New South Wales is a group of fragmented and endangered ecological communities found by the coast in eastern Australia.[1] Much of this seaside form has been destroyed by mining, tourist development or housing. It is threatened by extinction in the near future.[2] 90% of the 433 sites are less than ten hectares in size.[2] Littoral rainforest amounts to 0.6% of the rainforests in New South Wales.

The littoral rainforests of Australia extends from North Queensland to Victoria and many offshore islands, with a minority found within New South Wales.[3][2]
