The 7.30 Report was an Australian nightly television current affairs program, that was shown on ABC1 and ABC News 24 at 7.30pm, Mondays–Thursdays. Its sister program, Stateline was shown at the same time on Friday nights.
In 2011, it was replaced by 7.30, a revamped current affairs program presented by Leigh Sales and Chris Uhlmann.Leigh Sales is currently the main presenter.
The 7.30 Report began on 28 January 1986, screening Tuesday to Friday evenings. The program extended to Mondays the following year.
Until the end of 1994 the program had separate editions for each state, presented by Alan Carpenter, Mary Delahunty, Quentin Dempster, Trisha Goddard, Sarah Henderson, Genevieve Hussey, John Jost, Leigh McClusky, Kelly Nestor, and Andrew Olle. Kerry O'Brien took over as the presenter of the national program in 1995, with Maxine McKew serving as the main relief presenter until 2006.

In November 2014, ABC announced that local editions of 7.30 would be axed due to funding cuts.
