The Museum of Australian Military Intelligence is a component of the Australian Army History Unit. In 2001 it graduated from being an Australian Intelligence Corps sponsored and funded historical collection, to being one of the Australian Army Corps Museums.

The museums origins are in historical training aids used by the former School's of Military Intelligence and artefacts preserved by the various Australian Intelligence Corps units. These were brought together at the Australian Intelligence Corps Museum, which commenced part-time operations in 1988, before becoming the Museum of Australian Military Intelligence in 2001. The change of name is important as it reflects the whole of Australian Defence Organisation contribution to military intelligence and the Army History Units commitment to supporting the Defence Intelligence Community.

Whilst it houses specialised collections relating mostly to the Australian Intelligence Corps, there are items that cater for a wide range of interest. There is also a project to gather artefacts relating to RAN, RAAF and Defence Intelligence Group activities.
