Steampunk at Altitude is an annual festival based in Nimmitabel, a small community on the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales. It was conceived in 2016 and first held in May 2017 at The Federal Hotel, growing over subsequent years into a town-wide event organised through the Nimmitabel Chamber of Commerce.

The festival celebrates steampunk culture—the Victorian and Edwardian-inspired aesthetic that blends retro industrial design with speculative fiction. It has continued despite bushfire threats and COVID-19 restrictions, and serves as both a genre gathering and a tourism event for the region.
