The Australian Science Fiction Bullsheet is a monthly newsletter devoted to Australian science fiction, fantasy and horror (and related genres).

It was originally published by Marc Ortlieb from 1995 to 2002 as a newszine for the Australian National Science Fiction Association. In 2002 Ortlieb handed over the editorship to the team of Edwina Harvey and Ted Scribner, who produced it till 2010. It was relaunched in February 2011, and is published by Wendy Palmer on the first Sunday of each month.

Each issue contains news of fanzines, conventions, fan news, DUFF, award news, publishing news, and club news.

Among the reporters for the Bullsheet have been Andy Porter (Algol), Bruce Gillespie (SF Commentary), James Allen, June Young, Moira Dahlberg, and Thomas Bull, and others.

The Australian Science Fiction Bullsheet won the Ditmar Award for Best Fanzine twice, in 2004 and 2005, under the editorship of Edwina Harvey and Ted Scribner.
