The Wollomombi Falls (/hwɒlˈlɑːˈmʌmˈbiː/, from an Aboriginal word), is a plunge waterfall on the Wollomombi River located in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.

Located in the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) due east of Armidale and 1.45 kilometres (0.90 mi) off the Waterfall Way, the Wollomombi Falls are situated atop the Wollomombi Gorge near the confluence of the Wollomombi River with the Chandler River. The Chandler Falls are located on the Chandler River, adjacent to the Wollomombi Falls. The falls descend from an elevation of 907 metres (2,976 ft) above sea level in one drop of 100 metres (330 ft), with a total descend that ranges in height between 150–230 metres (490–750 ft) depending on the flow of the river.

At one time they were believed to be the tallest in Australia. However, recent geographical revisions place them at second or third tallest, depending on the source, after the Tin Mine Falls in the Snowy Mountains and the Wallaman Falls, near Ingham, Queensland.
