The Lebanese Muslim Association (LMA) is an Australian non-profit welfare organisation based in Lakemba, a south-western suburb of Sydney. It is also variously cited as the Lebanese "Moslem", "Moslems" or "Muslims" Association. The Association was founded in 1962 as a community project aiming to serve the "social, religious, recreational and educational" needs of Australian Muslims, and to advocate on their behalf in pursuit of these aims.〔"(About the Lebanese Moslems Association )", LMA website.

The entity is registered as a charity, but is not entitled to receive tax deductible gifts. Between 1972 and 1977, the organisation built the Imam Ali bin Abi Taleb Mosque on Wangee Road in Lakemba.
