Iced Coffee is a flavoured milk drink popular in Australia made by Farmers Union. It is especially popular among men and male teenagers who would not normally choose milk based drinks.

Farmers Union Iced Coffee is made with real coffee and reduced fat milk and comes in a variety of ready to drink and take home packages. First launched in 1977, the brand has reached iconic status in South Australia and is now also available in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, Northern Territory and Queensland.

Iced Coffee in Australia is also famous for popular commercials featuring rough male workers acting out ballet with heavy machinery in order to take up their boss on his word that he would provide them with a truck load of iced coffee if all his workers took up ballet. The current advert features a dramatic voice over detailing some recent Australian headlines and issues but shows relatively low key average Australian equivalents on screen, such as a man cutting his neighbours overhanging bushes back with a voice over saying "we strongly opposed the Bush invasion".
