Operation Azure is the deployment of Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel to the United Nations peacekeeping operation in Sudan known as the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS).

The contribution includes military observers and personnel who specialise in air movements and logistic support. The Commander of the Australian contingent is LTCOL Peter Bishenden.

The UN Security Council authorised the establishment of UNMIS on 24 March 2005 under Resolution 1590, after the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement signed the Comprehensive Peace Agreement to end a civil war lasting more than 20 years.

There are 15 ADF personnel serving on Operation Azure.
