Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of astrophysics and astronomy. The Editor-in-Chief is Dr. Minh Huynh (CSIRO).

The journal was established at the inaugural meeting of the newly-formed Astronomical Society of Australia on 30 November 1966 as the Proceedings of the Astronomical Society of Australia with the first volume going into print in March 1967.{{cite journal |last1=Lomb |first1=Nick |title=Scientific Society Journals: the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia |journal=Historical Records of Australian Science |date=20 July 2018 |volume=29 |issue=2 |pages=112-121 |doi=10.1071/HR18002 |url=https://research.usq.edu.au/item/q4q86/scientific-society-journals-the-publications-of-the-astronomical-society-of-australia|url-access=subscription }} It was run by a single Editor, Dick McGee, until 1989 when an Editorial Board was established. Up to 1994 its primary purpose was to publish papers presented at the Annual General Meeting of the ASA, although historical papers and book reviews were also considered for publication.

Starting with Volume 12 published in 1994 the name was changed to the current Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, reflecting a wider remit towards publishing general astronomy research papers. PASA was first published electronically in 1996 under a partnership with CSIRO publishing.
