The British-Australasian Tobacco Company Limited was an Australian tobacco manufacturer[1] with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.[2][3][4]

The company was formed by a merger of the Dixson Tobacco Company Limited and William Cameron Brothers and Company Proprietary.[3][5] Sir William Dixson was company director from 1903-1908.[3]

The tobacco tins constructed from tin plated thin rolled steel produced by the British-Australasian Tobacco Company are now collectable items.[6]
