The Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR) was established in 1990 and is located at The Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, Australia.

CAEPR is a multi-disciplinary social sciences research centre, with a primary focus on Indigenous Australian economic policy and economic development issues, including native title and land rights, social justice, and the socioeconomic status of Indigenous Australians. CAEPR's research is supported by funding from the ANU, the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, and the Australia Research Council, and from industry partners including Reconciliation Australia, Rio Tinto, Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation, and the Northern Territory and Western Australian governments.

In Australia, CAEPR is the only dedicated research centre focusing on Indigenous economic policy issues from a national perspective. Its publications aim to broadly evaluate government policy, influence policy formulation and inform rational debate.
