The Woman's Anti-Franchise League was an Australian organisation opposed to women's suffrage.[1]

The Anti-Franchise League was co-founded in 1900 by Carrie Reid, daughter of Robert Reid, who was known to oppose the reform of women's suffrage, which was debated in Australia at the time. The League proved to be short lived. Australia introduced women's suffrage in 1901.
