The British-Australasian Tobacco Company Limited was an Australian tobacco manufacturer with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.

The company was formed by a merger of the Dixson Tobacco Company Limited and William Cameron Brothers and Company Proprietary. Sir William Dixson was company director from 1903–1908.

The company seems to have still been operating under this name in 1942 but later became part of the W.D. & H.O. Wills (Australia) Group.
