Australian Celebrity Survivor (also known as Celebrity Survivor: Vanuatu) is the second season of Australian Survivor, based on the popular reality game show Survivor. The series was filmed in May and June 2006 and aired weekly between August and November 2006 on the Seven Network. It was set on the Vanuatuan island of Éfaté. Hosted by television personality and former record company executive Ian "Dicko" Dickson, the program featured 12 Australian celebrity castaways competing for 25 days. The grand prize was A$100,000 for the winner's chosen charity. After 25 days on the island, surf lifesaving champion Guy Leech was named the "Sole Celebrity Survivor" in a 3–2 jury vote over actor Justin Melvey. Guy donated his A$100,000 charity prize to Ride Aid Inc, while the charities of the other players each received a donation of A$5,000.

Celebrity Survivor was aired on the Seven Network in 2006, the same year the network aired other celebrity-oriented reality programs including It Takes Two and Dancing with the Stars. Although better received than the Nine Network's 2002 season, Seven's Celebrity Survivor series was still only a modest success in the ratings and was not renewed by the Seven Network. A third Australian Survivor was not produced until 10 years later when Network Ten picked up the rights for a third season to air in 2016.
